Jordan Lapp (Managing Editor)
Website: Without Really Trying
Jordan Lapp is currently majoring in English at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. He enjoys a wide variety of fiction, from Man Booker Prize winners Yann Martel and Pat Barker, to pulp fiction masters like Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov.
He is active in the writing community, both as a recent semi-finalist in the Writers of the Future contest, and as a member of the Spec 24 Writing Group.
In 2007, he decided to combine his love of blogging with his passion for fiction and became a founding member of Every Day Fiction.
Camille Gooderham Campbell (Editor and Slush Mistress)
Website: BookSpot
Camille Gooderham Campbell is proud to be a full-time mother, but she keeps her brain functional by writing and being involved in projects such as Every Day Fiction. She has an Honours B.A. specializing in English Literature from the University of Toronto, where she was privileged to study creative writing with Professor J. Edward Chamberlin.
Camille’s taste in fiction is eclectic, with favourite authors ranging from Jane Austen to Jilly Cooper, Robert A. Heinlein to Anne McCaffrey, and Pauline Gedge to Jack Whyte. She reads all genres, with a particular interest in speculative and historical fiction, and also collects classic children’s literature.
She is a member of the Spec 24 Writing Group with Jordan, and joined Every Day Fiction because the idea of a new really short story to read every day is just plain irresistible.
Steven Smethurst (Web Master)
Website: Abluestar.com
Steven Smethurst first started web design in 2002 by creating simple HTML manuals as a hobby. At first his code was very primitive, but he kept looking at what others did and learning from them. Over time, he found that he had a real knack for web design and his skills grew as he needed to fullfil requirements for new projects.
In late 2006, he found himself doing more web sites than utilities and made the mental switch from calling himself a programming monkey to calling himself a web monkey. He reads mainly short Sci-Fi such as Philip K. Dick, and older story books like The Arabian Knights and the Brothers Grimm.
He joined this project because he felt that there was a real void of ultra-short fiction stories that he could read on his lunch break.
