Her stories have appeared in semi- and professional magazines and anthologies, some reprinted in Best New Horror and Year's Best Fantasy & Horror. One story was nominated for a British Fantasy Society Award for short fiction, and another won First Prize in the Roadworks Short Fiction competition.
Scofidio's writing is inspired by, in no particular order, Edith Wharton, H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Lanoe Falconer, Patricia Highsmith, Robert Aickman, Vera Caspary, Rachel Ingalls, Strunk & White, Peter H. Cannon, Chet Williamson, Austin Wright, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Natalie Goldberg, and Ireland’s genius, the stained glass artist and pen & ink illustrator Harry Clarke.
Scofidio lauds the ebook revolution, as evidenced here on Smashwords, giving a new-found freedom to writers whose work steps outside the bounds of traditionally-published fiction, allowing for the author to choose the book length and style most suited to her temperament and interests. Also by self-publishing her work as ebooks, Scofidio is doing her bit for the planet.
