Stacy King is a freelance writer, editor and modiste based in Toronto, Ontario. Her main focus is writing for middle grade and young adult audiences, particularly fantasy and historical fiction. Her most recent work includes the Dungeons and Dragons’ Young Adventurer’s Guide series for Ten Speed Press, a new-player friendly introduction to the world and concepts of the iconic role-playing game.

She was the founding editor for the Manga Classics series, adapting western literary classics into Japanese graphic novel formats. She currently lives in downtown Toronto with her husband, comics writer Jim Zub, and has never quite gotten over her love of playing dress-up.

Dungeons & Dragons launched the great tradition of roleplaying games in 1974 with an unprecedented mix of adventure and strategy, dice-rolling, and storytelling. Wizards of the Coast continues to honor that tradition, bringing to market a diverse range of D&D game and entertainment experiences and influencing numerous writers, directors, and game designers by tapping into an innate human need to gather with friends and tell an exciting story together.
