Marieke Nijkamp debuted in 2016 with This Is Where It Ends, a YA novel about a school shooting that became an instant bestseller. Their standalone novels since then have included Before I Let Go (2018), Even If We Break (2020), and At The End of Everything (2022), all of which deal with intense subjects and closed-setting tension. After We Burned is the most recent standalone, due in 2025.
A major part of Nijkamp’s catalog is tied to Critical Role, the popular tabletop role-playing show. They wrote the novel Kith & Kin and contributed to numerous comics, origin stories, and companion books in the Critical Role universe, with more than 25 entries in that series alone. They have also written graphic novels outside the Critical Role world, including The Oracle Code (a DC Comics title), Hawkeye: Kate Bishop for Marvel, and the Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp adaptation. Their newest series, Splinter & Ash, launched in 2024 with a second book, City of Secrets, on the way. Nijkamp also edited and contributed to anthologies like Unbroken and The Radical Element.
