Scott Westerfeld has been writing since 1989, and his catalog of 77 books covers a surprising range. He started with non-fiction (The Berlin Airlift) before moving into science fiction and young adult territory. His Uglies series, which imagines a future where everyone gets cosmetic surgery at sixteen, became one of the defining YA dystopias of the 2000s. He later returned to that world with the Impostors quartet, picking up the story with a new cast.

His other series are just as varied. Leviathan reimagines World War I with steampunk airships and genetically engineered beasts. Midnighters follows teenagers who experience a secret 25th hour hidden from the rest of the world. Peeps puts a biological spin on vampirism. He also contributed to multi-author projects like the Horizon and Zeroes series, and wrote early adult sci-fi novels like Polymorph and Evolution’s Darling.

Beyond prose, Westerfeld has worked in graphic novels (The Spill Zone, Uglies graphic novels), tie-in fiction for the Powerpuff Girls, and contributed to numerous anthologies. He also wrote companion non-fiction for the Uglies universe, including Bogus to Bubbly and Mind-Rain.
