After an unsuccessful career in radio, and a middling-successful career as a stand-up comic, Scott Meyer found himself middle-aged, working as a ride operator at Walt Disney World.
In his spare time, he produced the successful web comic Basic Instructions. He slowly built a following of fans all over the world, to whom he sold his first self-published novel, Off to Be the Wizard. The book’s success brought him a publishing deal.
Scott lives in Arizona with his wife, their cats, and his most important possession, a working air conditioner.

Off to be the Wizard by Scott Meyer
After being on a bit of a horror and dark fantasy diet, I decided I needed something lighter, a palate cleanser if you will. Off to Be the Wizard (2014) by Scott Meyer kept showing up in my recommendations for a light and humorous fantasy. As it turned out, Off to be the Wizard was exactly what I was looking for.
The story follows Martin Banks who is a data entry clerk for a large company.
