Julia Kavan
Writer, Editor, and mentor in the United Kingdom
Born in the University city of Cambridge, England, Julia has spent most of her life in Cambridgeshire - atmospheric and the perfect inspiration for ghost stories.
She taught creative writing classes for over ten years and now spends her time writing dark fiction - novels, screenplays. and short stories.
Her tastes definitely err towards the dark side. She devoured horror stories as a teenager, including James Herbert and Stephen King in her list of favorite authors, moving on to Clive Barker and Peter Straub. As a child she would watch anything that even vaguely looked as if it may be scary... so perhaps it is only natural that this is the area her writing tends to wander into - even if she doesn't always intend it to!
