Phil Brucato: Profile
Phil Brucato, aka Satyr, sold his first pro story to Marion Zimmer Bradley back in 1989. That tale – “Elynne Dragonchild” in Sword & Sorceress IX – became the first of many. Known throughout the 1990s as part of White Wolf’s pack of leather-clad disreputables, Phil co-created the Mage, Sorcerers Crusade, Changeling and Vampire: The Dark Ages lines, contributing to over 80 books for that company.
In 2001, he founded Laughing Pan Productions, authoring Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium, and Everyday Heroes and Goblin Markets from 2003-2006. He’s also been a steady columnist for newWitch magazine. His short stories have appeared in venues such as Weird Tales (“Ravenous”) and Bad-Ass Faeries 2 (“Loopholes”).
Most recently, he co-edited the benefit anthology Ravens in the Library with his partner Sandra Buskirk. Satyr lives in Seattle now and teaches storytelling, film and game design at that city’s Art Institute.
