| John Scalzi's Biography
I was born in 1969 and by 1983 it became clear to me that I had better become a writer because everything else was actual work. Fortunately, so far I've managed to pull this off: My first job out of college was as a film critic at the Fresno Bee newspaper in California, and I've been working as a writer ever since. Since 1998, I've been a full-time freelance writer, which is both fun and occasionally panic-inducing.
As a writer, I've done pretty much everything, from the previously-mentioned film reviews to corporate brochures to books. The last of these is the most "romantic" sort of writing I do (i.e., conforms to what people expect of writers), but I find the other sorts of writing that I do equally interesting in their own way.
