Susan Wright

Susan Wright is an American author born in 1963 whose long career spans licensed Star Trek tie-in novels, general science fiction and fantasy published under the related name S. L. Wright, contemporary romance, and nonfiction books about popular culture. Her Open Library author record specifically credits the S. L. Wright byline to her original science fiction and fantasy work, distinguishing it from the Star Trek novels published under her given name. That Star Trek work touches multiple series within the franchise, including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and assorted crossover and anthology volumes, alongside original tie-in novels such as Slave Trade. Across thirteen series and twenty-five catalogued titles, she has built an extensive bibliography moving between licensed tie-in fiction and original genre work over several decades.
