Chris Tebbetts

Chris Tebbetts is the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling MIDDLE SCHOOL series, as well as the 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.

His work has received children’s choice awards in Oregon and Hawaii, as well a Sunshine State Young Readers Award nomination, and a nod on the New York Public Library’s annual list of Books For the Teen Age. He offers author talks and writing workshops for any age from fourth grade through adult, online and in person. Chris has visited schools around the country and taught for the Antioch Writers’ Workshop, Highlights Foundation, Adirondack Center for Writing, and others. Find him online at christebbetts.com and @christebbetts.

His latest teaching project is Theater Camp For Writers, a flexible workshop (online, in person, or hybrid) that answers the question: What do improv, acting, and directing have to teach us as writers? He is (I am) eager to bring this topic into his work with schools, as well, and would love to chat with any teacher, librarian, or other educator interested in having that conversation!
