Soman Chainani is an American author and filmmaker whose work spans middle-grade fantasy, fairy tale retellings, short fiction, and comics. His best-known creation is The School for Good and Evil series, which began in 2013 and grew to include companion novels, prequels, and a Netflix film adaptation in 2022.
Beyond the main series, Chainani has written the Faraway collection of fairy tales, the short story collection Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales, and contributed to DC Comics anthology specials. His work returns frequently to fairy tale structures and the tension between heroes and villains, good and evil — ideas he treats with more ambiguity than the labels suggest.
