John Scalzi

John Scalzi, toastmasterJohn Scalzi first came to Chicago in 1987 from Los Angeles to attend the University of Chicago; upon arriving in the city, he was heard to remark how amazing it was to see buildings more than thirty years old. Since those days, Scalzi's gone on to write a number of science fiction novels, including the Hugo-nominated Old Man's War, the Norton-nominated Zoe's Tale and the upcoming Fuzzy Nation. When he's not writing novels, he's the President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, the creative consultant for the Stargate: Universe television series, and a columnist for Filmcritic.com. He also writes nearly daily on his blog, Whatever, from which his Hugo-winning essay collection Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded is derived. He's looking forward to coming back to Chicago and eating all the stuffed pizza in the city.
