George R.R. Martin is an American author born in 1948 in Bayonne, New Jersey. He began writing and selling science fiction stories in the early 1970s while working as a chess tournament director and later as a teacher. His early work earned him multiple Hugo and Nebula nominations before he transitioned to television writing in the 1980s.
Martin worked as a writer and producer on shows including The Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast before returning to prose fiction in the 1990s. In 1996, he published A Game of Thrones, the first book in A Song of Ice and Fire. The series grew into a publishing phenomenon that redefined modern fantasy fiction with its complex characters, political intrigue, and subversion of genre tropes.
Beyond his novels, Martin has edited the Wild Cards anthology series since 1987, which features stories about superheroes in an alternate history setting. He continues to work on completing A Song of Ice and Fire while overseeing various television adaptations of his work, including House of the Dragon.
