About Travis DiPerna
Travis DiPerna is the founder and publisher of Everlore Hollow and the sole final editorial approver for The Grimoire. He writes the serialized dark-fantasy story Echoes of the Crucible and oversees how each printed episode, candle, tea, piece of lore, and artifact fits the same narrative journey. Before Everlore Hollow, Travis served as a U.S. Navy photojournalist, experience that still shapes his attention to deadlines, evidence, images, and the people behind a story. His Grimoire work includes first-person field notes about building the company, practical explanations of its reading experience, and guides intended to help fantasy readers compare their options clearly. He also owns the publication's technical system, accessibility implementation, search and audience work, release controls, and final publish decision. That combination means his profile carries an explicit Everlore relationship disclosure: he writes about a company he founded and operates. Commercial interests never permit a paid link, hidden sponsorship, invented claim, suppressed correction, or altered independent review outcome.
Relationship disclosure
