cypher query to match all nodes of a specific relationship type to a specific node

I have Author and Articles nodes.

Author has a WROTE relationship that links it to articles.

I would like to get all articles that have been written by an author with a specific uuid.

MATCH (n:Author {uuid: '8f47fb1d-2a3f-46a8-b0fc-06b24169ac86'})<-[:WROTE]-(Article)
RETURN Article

is what I am trying, but it is coming back with (no changes, no records).

I'm guessing here, but the direction of your relationship seems off. You also want to provide the type (i.e. "label") of your article node:

MATCH (n:Author {uuid: '8f47fb1d-2a3f-46a8-b0fc-06b24169ac86'})-[:WROTE]->(a:Article)
RETURN a

For exploring your data and if you do not know the direction, you can match relationships while ignoring the direction:

MATCH (n:Author {uuid: '8f47fb1d-2a3f-46a8-b0fc-06b24169ac86'})-[:WROTE]-(a:Article)
RETURN a
