Andrzej Sapkowski
Andrzej Sapkowski is a Polish author of fantasy novels. He writes The Witcher series. Prior to becoming a writer, Andrzej studied economics and worked in sales for a foreign trade company. In 1986, his first short story ( Wiedzmin ) was published in Fantastyka (the number one fantasy magazine in Poland) to tremendously positive reviews. This is what became The Witcher. Due to the success of the story, he turned the story into larger saga. This helped make Andrzej one of the top Polish fantasy novelists of the 1990s.
