Hello!

I am a Canadian living in Mexico, I love art and fantasy books, and I work my dream job illustrating and designing book covers. A few of my recent covers are below.

I am super excited about all of the upcoming projects I have booked and can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for me!

Yesterday I submitted a short to a magazine, submitted print version of my novella to Ingram Sparks, and did [redacted] for my rebrand and relaunch of my interview show. 👀

Making moves!
Trying to bring you all more and more cool stuff. :)

Being a writer is full of interesting dichotomies. Like editing a serious piece on grief in prep to submit it to a Hugo award winning magazine while also sending your friend the stupid short you wrote for a 2 word prompt your critique partners came up with: masturbating zombies 🤣

They literally shouted this one out during a panel at WorldCon! :)

Nicholas W Fuller @nicholaswfuller.bsky.social · Aug 21

So my book SHATTERED is out as a Patreon exclusive.
But print editions are just about ready to go.
I was about to put it all on the zon but someone smarter than me pointed out novellas generally don't do as well there.
Wondering about launching print as a Kickstarter...?
Thoughts?

If you're reading this and you'll be in Seattle this week for WorldCon or because that's home, let's meet and do an 80's action movie running high five together. ✋😁

What should his real name be? | Nicholas W Fuller

Nicholas W Fuller @nicholaswfuller.bsky.social · Aug 6

One fun and unique thing I get to do while serializing a story on Patreon is get some fan input.
So starting with an easy one - I've got a pain in the ass character that gets the shorthand name of Ole Gristle Guts. But what should his real name be??

Sex is good and all, but have you ever had your buddy read the book you wrote and immediately ask for more?

Just recorded a BIG unboxing video with stuff I've been holding on to for a long while for this video. Might chop it down a bit to make it more concise because there were SEVENTEEN books I just unboxed lol
