About Eric Wicklund
Erik Wicklund is a humor writer and fiction author with a distinctive creative voice that he describes as sly, sarcastic, funny, and sweet. Writing under the pen name E.A. Wicklund, he has spent more than a decade honing a style that finds comedy in the everyday, the extraordinary, and everything in between.
Since 2014, Wicklund has run Momus News, a humor blog named for the ancient Greek god of satire — a fitting patron for a writer whose work consistently punctures pretension while celebrating human quirk. With roughly four humorous stories posted per week, the blog has attracted more than 2,100 subscribers and accumulated over 120,000 reads, demonstrating a loyal and growing readership for Wicklund’s brand of short-form comedy and flash fiction.
His fiction work extends to Amazon, where he has published several titles including The Huralon Incident, a speculative fiction novel that blends naval combat, adventure, and his characteristic comedic instincts. Wicklund has also received recognition from the flash fiction community, earning multiple awards from competitions including Mutant 750, Chimera 66, and YeahWrite — validating his craft at the micro-fiction level where every word carries weight.
At National Today, Wicklund channels that same economy of language and comedic timing into content that makes holidays, food, and cultural moments feel fresh and entertaining. His ability to find the humor in any subject, paired with a writer’s precision, makes him a natural fit for a platform dedicated to celebrating the full, sometimes ridiculous range of human observance.
