Nick Eliopulos was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where he grew up on a steady diet of super-hero comics and "non-fiction" books about alien abductions, psychic phenomena, and Sasquatch. Shortly after graduating, Nick moved to New York to work in publishing.

In the course of his thirteen-year career as a children's book editor, he has had the opportunity to write for a number of licensed properties, from Thomas the Tank Engine to Minecraft to DC Super Friends. Nick currently lives in Brooklyn with his husband, a fellow editor, author, and Southern transplant.
