Sydney Rappis

Sydney Rappis – Editor

When I'm not baking, I'm passionately debating the cultural impact of the Fast and Furious franchise (or rereading Gideon the Ninth).

Overview

I am a book lover based in NYC. I have been a freelance editor for 5 years, working in academic and trade. I love all things horror, science fiction, diverse, and compelling. I'm passionate about reading weird, unexpected and emotional stories across platforms.
