She was the editor-in-chief of the semiprozine, The Edge of Propinquity,[6] a webzine that published for six years, and worked as an assistant editor, sounding board, and convention volunteer for the Apex Book Company.[7] Brozek is now the creative director of Apocalypse Ink Productions and a member of International Association of Media Tie-in Writers (IAMTW), the Horror Writers Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). She served as SFWA Director-at-Large from 2015 to 2017.[8]
