About Nick

Nick Roth is a former middle-school substitute Latin teacher and current film and television writer. He's also a halfway-decent dungeon master and a frankly-pretty-bad rock climber. Nick’s writing tends to be smart-funny, world-buildy, and genre-bendy. It also turns out he over-uses hyphens. He is repped by Zero Gravity.
