G Willow Wilson read her first superhero comic at age 9, when she was given an X-Men themed anti-smoking booklet in 5th grade health class. It must have worked, because she never took up smoking. She decided that she wanted to be a writer. It’s all been downhill from there.
Currently, she writes the Hugo Award-winning comic book series Ms. Marvel for Marvel comics. Her debut novel-without-pictures, Alif the Unseen, won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and was a finalist for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize. In 2010, she wrote a memoir called The Butterfly Mosque about love, Islam and life in Egypt during the waning years of the Mubarak regime. Jumbled in between, she's written graphic novels and comic book series for DC Comics and its literary imprint, Vertigo, and helped launch the ongoing series A-Force for Marvel Comics. In 2015, she received a special commendation for innovation in graphic literature at the PEN Center USA Literary Awards.
