Dr. Brandy Schillace, PhD
Managing Editor, Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry

A medical humanist altac (alternative academic), Dr. Schillace spends her time in the mist-shrouded alleyways between the literary humanities and medical history. She is the managing editor of Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry, an international journal of cross-cultural health research. She is also the author of the Fiction Reboot and Literary Medicine’s Daily Dose blogs, bschillace.wordpress.com. The Reboot provides useful tips and information for writers, weekly fiction features and interviews with authors of fiction and poetry. The mission of the Dose is to honor, support, and share perspectives about medicine and humanities across cultures and disciplines. Dr. Schillace’s research and writing span these twin interests; in addition to multiple published articles, she is completing a research book titled A Subject Dark and Intricate about 18th century medicine and Gothic narrative. She is also working on two YA series, a mystery series, and a novel about rogue scholarship and nefarious goats. Dr. Schillace leads international conferences for Inter-disciplinary.net, does consulting and free-lance work, and spends a lot of time in museums. She has taught Gothic literature, history of psychology, YA fiction and creative writing at Winona State University and Case Western Reserve University… and in Paris. Let’s not forget Paris.
