Blake Northcott
About The Author
Blake Northcott is a Canadian author, screenwriter, and producer.
Her sci-fi/superhero trilogy, 'The Arena Mode Saga', became the most-funded Kickstarter series in Canada, and one of the platform's top-performing series of novels worldwide. 'Arena Mode' was on the nomination list for the prestigious BSFA (British Science Fiction Association) Best Novel award, and the books are part of the high school curriculum in Florida.
Northcott’s follow-up novel, the magical spy thriller, 'The North Valley Grimoire', became the most-funded Kickstarter novel in Canadian history, and an Amazon Bestseller in 2019.
She broke into the comic book industry as an editorial writer at Mark Millar's Millarworld ('Jupiter's Legacy', 'Kick-Ass', 'Kingsman').
Blake made her DC Comics debut with 'Catwoman' #23 in July of 2020; it sold out before it hit stores, and a 2nd printing was announced. Some of her other comics include 'Synapse', which appeared in the Heavy Metal #300 All-Star edition, 'Fathom' for Aspen Comics, 'Vampirella' for Dynamite Comics, and the surprise indie hit of 2020, 'Everglade Angels'.
In March 2021, Heavy Metal Studios (co-producing with Range Media) optioned 'The Arena Mode Saga', and announced they would be adapting the series of novels for TV.
And in May 2021, Papa Octopus Productions announced they were producing 'The Omega Artifact', a feature film written and co-produced by Blake Northcott, based on her novella of the same name.
