Carter Wilson is the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of eleven standalone psychological thrillers. His stories focus on ordinary people pushed into situations where survival and morality collide, and every decision has consequences. His 2025 novel Tell Me What You Did was a national monthly pick by Barnes & Noble, and his work has been optioned for film and television.
He is the host of the podcast Making It Up, where he has candid, unscripted conversations with fellow authors about what it actually takes to build a writing life. He is also the founder of Unbound Writer, an international community dedicated to helping writers become better writers and build meaningful writing careers through coaching, immersive retreats in the United States and France, and live workshops.
A sought-after speaker and moderator, Carter is known for conversations that feel honest, engaging, and a little unpredictable. He lives in Erie, Colorado and travels frequently to teach, interview, and speak.
