Anthony Rivera

Anthony Rivera is a Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor committed to finding, developing and nurturing the best talent writing in horror, SciFi, speculative and other dark fiction genres. Tony is the editor-in-chief at Grey Matter Press where it's his hope that authors and readers alike will come to realize the company's products are exceptional examples of the best work being published in genre fiction.

After spending far too much time marketing big-name corporate clients, Tony realized his publishing dream in 2012 when he opened the doors of Grey Matter Press, a Chicago-based independent publishing company producing works of dark fiction. One year later, in 2013, Grey Matter Press released its first volume which was nominated for the prestigious Bram Stoker Award. Other critically acclaimed and award-nominated volumes followed.

In subsequent years, Grey Matter Press has released a succession of acclaimed titles. FANGORIA Magazine has said: "Grey Matter Press has managed to establish itself as one of the premiere purveyors of horror fiction currently in existence.”

Tony's early attraction to the dark and fantastic led him first into the world of marketing. Throughout a career that took him through the fields of news reporting, copywriting, copyediting, publishing, promotions, design and advertising, he ultimately remained focused on what was truly important -- creativity and the words and imagery that drive it.
