Chris Tebbetts (he/him) is the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling MIDDLE SCHOOL series, as well as the newly released middle grade adventure, DR. ZEUS, with James Patterson. He also co-authored the bestselling STRANDED series with Jeff Probst from TV’s “Survivor." Other projects include two YA novels: ME, MYSELF, AND HIM and M OR F? (with Lisa Papademetriou); the bestselling adult thriller 1ST CASE; and the audio drama 10 RULES FOR THE PERFECT MURDER, also with James Patterson.
Chris came to publishing by way of theater, which was his primary creative outlet from age ten to thirty, including a decade as an NYC-based stage manager, director, choreographer, and producer—everything but acting. (Trust me, he is a terrible actor.) Find Chris on Instagram here.
Chris tells us he’s comfortable critiquing any piece of kidlit writing, but notes he’s published in MG and YA.
