Bestselling author Wulf Moon has always known he's a writer. He believes you are born with the gift. The rest is dedication, education, and polishing your craft. And courage. You have to serve seven cats--every successful writer knows that--but allow only ONE in your office. But if you want more proof, he won BEST AUTHOR OF 2019, of 2020, of 2021, and again in 2022 where thousands of readers from around the world vote in the Critters Readers' Choice Awards each year. If you need more proof than that (my goodness!), here it is:
At fifteen, Wulf Moon wrote a science fiction story that won the national Scholastic Art and Writing Awards--the same contest that first discovered Stephen King, Truman Capote, Joyce Carol Oates, John Updike and a multitude of iconic names in the arts. This became his first professional sale in Science World (circulation 1,000,000 print copies per issue). Since then he has won more than 50 awards in writing, about as many in public speaking, and a full scholarship to a private college—a good thing to happen to a kid in a foster home.
More recent credits include his Star Trek story “Seventh Heaven” published by Simon and Schuster’s Pocket Books in STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS II. A Borg love story. What could be sweeter?
Moon won a contest sponsored by New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. His entry took first place and became the conclusion to her contest novella, “Riley Slade’s Return.”
"War Dog," Moon's historical fantasy in the time of the conquistadors, was published in TERRA! TARA! TERROR! from Third Flatiron Publishing. Thousands from around the globe voted for their faves in the 2018 Critters Annual Readers' Poll. "War Dog" won BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY SHORT STORY PUBLISHED IN 2018. In addition, Moon won this award again in 2019 (see below). And in 2020, Moon won this award for the third year in a row with "Muzik Man" in Deep Magic, Fall 2020. "Muzik Man" also received accolades in Tangent Online, and earned the honor of being a starred listing on the coveted Tangent Recommended Reading List published in 2020.
Moon has won the international talent search for the best new writers in speculative fiction: the Writers of the Future Contest. His award-winning SF story, "Super-Duper Moongirl and the Amazing Moon Dawdler," was published in the bestselling anthology WRITERS OF THE FUTURE, VOL. 35. In the Critters Readers' Choice Awards, "Super-Duper Moongirl..." won BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY SHORT STORY PUBLISHED IN 2019.
