Heidi MacDonald (born November 15)[1] is an American writer and editor of comic books based in New York City.

[5] In 2007, MacDonald edited the graphic novel The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning from Fox Atomic Comics, that was a prequel to the 2006 film.

[9][10] In January 2016, MacDonald announced she was laid off from her position at Publishers Weekly, although she would continue to write for the magazine on a freelance basis.

She wrote, "The era of the 'bedroom blogger' is long gone, replaced by corporate entities trying to outdo each other with clickbait headlines and subsisting on popup ads that get more bewildering every day.

In January 2020, it was announced that after Lion Forge was acquired by Polarity, the company cut ties with MacDonald.
