Chuck Wendig is an American novelist, screenwriter, comic book writer, and blogger. He got his start writing tabletop RPG sourcebooks for White Wolf’s World of Darkness line before turning to fiction full-time. His blog, terribleminds, became a popular destination for blunt writing advice, which he later collected into books like Confessions of a Freelance Penmonkey and The Kick-Ass Writer.
Wendig’s breakout fiction came with Blackbirds (2012), the first book in the Miriam Black series about a drifter who can see how people will die just by touching them. He went on to write the Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy for Lucasfilm, which tells the story of the galaxy between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. His work spans horror, sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and YA fiction, with standalone novels like The Book of Accidents (2021) and Black River Orchard (2023) earning him a growing reputation in horror.
Beyond novels, Wendig has written comics for Dynamite Entertainment, including runs on Turok, Magnus, and The Shield. He has also contributed to Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles through the Oberon’s Meaty Mysteries companion novellas written from the perspective of Atticus O’Sullivan’s wolfhound.
