Jody Lynn Nye is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction books and short stories, many of them with a humorous bent. Before breaking away from gainful employment to write full time, Jody worked as a file clerk, bookkeeper at a small publishing house, freelance journalist and photographer, accounting assistant, costume maker, and technical operations manager at a television station. Since 1987, she has published over 50 books and more than 200 short stories across the speculative fiction spectrum.
In addition to her writing, Jody has taught in numerous writing workshops and participated on hundreds of panels at science fiction conventions covering the subjects of writing and being published, spoken in schools and libraries, taught fantasy writing at Columbia College Chicago, and she runs the two-day writers’ workshop at DragonCon.
Since 2016, she has judged entries for the Writers of the Future contest, the world’s largest science fiction and fantasy writing contest for new authors. She is now its Coordinating Judge.
Once a lifelong Chicagoan (though still a Cubs fan), Jody now lives near Atlanta with her husband Bill Fawcett—a writer, game designer, military historian and book packager—and three feline overlords: Athena, Minx, and Marmalade.
