Agent to the Stars

About the Author

When he's not writing about Hollywood agents and space aliens, John Scalzi is a freelance writer, critic and columnist. John's first full time writing job came in 1991, when he was hired on graduation from the University of Chicago to become the film critic for the Fresno Bee newspaper in California. In 1994, he also became a humor columnist for the Bee. Both his reviews and columns were nationally syndicated.

In 1996, John left the Bee to join AOL as the company's first full time writer and editor. He stayed there through March 1998, when he left the company and began his life of freelance fun. Currently this includes being the National Music Writer for MediaOne Express (where he also is a featured humor columnist), and writing the occasional column for the Washington Post.

John lives in Sterling, Virginia, with his wife Kristine, daughter Athena Marie, dog Kodi, and cat Rex. He's thinking about writing another novel sometime reasonably soon.
