This coming Saturday, Justine and I will be doing an appearance at the wondrous Kinokuniya bookshop. Deb Abela and Michael Parker will also be there, and the four of us are going to have a long, meaningful debate about science fiction.
Or maybe a spitting contest.
Where:
Kinokuniya Books
Galeries Victoria
500 George St., Sydney
When:
Saturday, January 20, 2PM
Who: Deb Abela, Michael Parker, Justine Larbalestier, and Scott Westerfeld
Why:
To better the world.
As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)
Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!

what are scotts adult titles
January 16th, 2007 00:44
Buy some notebooks while you’re there. The Japanese make the best notebooks.
January 16th, 2007 05:18
when are you going to come to southern californis? you came to SF once. but that is 6 hours north of me.
i dont understand the notebook comment, explain please.
January 16th, 2007 06:19
Kinokuniya’s a Japanese bookshop, right? Japanese spiral notebooks are the world’s best. Even Moleskine doesn’t measure up.
January 16th, 2007 15:34
Too bad I’ll be in the states! I wish I were rich enough to fly out there in a moment’s notice to see you guys. Hmph.
January 17th, 2007 09:44
Again, you HAVE to come to Wisconsin! We ♥LOVE♥ you here! PLEASE
January 17th, 2007 11:32
wow, i didnt know note books were that important. but i would buy one just to have one.
January 17th, 2007 12:33
OMG! Yay! Sydney! That’s it… I’m so being there!
January 18th, 2007 02:21
Yeah! Kenzie and Capt. are right! Seattle wants you back, Scott (plus I have more books for you to sign…)
YEAH! A NEW SPECIALS BOOK…called Extras? Are you currently writting it? Is it finished? What is going on???

I say you come to Nebraska because no one ever comes to Nebraska! All we get this year is the guy who wrote This Side of Paradise…I forgot his name. I mean Sydney’s cool and everything, but a spitting contest would be way cooler in Nebraska because it’s so gosh darn cold here, I bet your spit would freeze!
January 18th, 2007 15:58
Yay! Going with my friends and everything. Thank God i only live half an hour from the city and just in time for my birthday!
January 21st, 2007 10:26

January 21st, 2007 12:46
So, this is kinda off topic, but i’ve recently began reading Midnighters 3 and when i came to the chapter Majorette, i got REALY excited because one, I AM a Majorette. And two, Majorettes are VERY rare these days. Anyway, i just got kinda excited, haha. So, here is one of my majorette pics if you would like to check it out.

January 22nd, 2007 04:44
No one. I am a unique individual.
January 22nd, 2007 08:32
that was deep realy deep
January 23rd, 2007 14:04
I know you probably get so many of these comments a day, but I absolutely love your books, well the three I’ve read: Uglies, Pretties, and Specails.
I read a lot of Harry Potter, and I am huge fan, but now I’m a Tally Youngblood fan even more.
I just finished Specials and I got my best friend Kassie to read your books, and she finished Uglies in 4 days, she loved it so much. I know she will be writing to you soon.
I want to tell you that your books about Tally are wonderful! But I HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! That you killed Zane! I hate that. (If you haven’t noticed)
I read the detication on Specials and I laugh, yep though I didn’t write to you I did throw the book a couple of times and cried more than once.
The reason I am checking out your site is to do a school project on my favorite author.
Your Sincere Fan,
Taylor
January 23rd, 2007 14:08
AHHH MORE BOOKS WITH TALLY! I JUST READ THE BELOW!
LOVE YOU LOTS!
((Yep Same Taylor from before))
January 25th, 2007 08:44
hey common Taylor dont be so rash with the hate word good cant always happend i meen i know how you feel i cryed when he died its funny though i was reading it in class and my teacher is such an ID10T he started playing some sad music just as i got there and i fell into tears but we cant always have what we want then it just wouldnt seem real.
January 26th, 2007 10:31
I would so be Shay. Duh.
And Capt. had no idea what she was talking about. She’d be Tally’s mom.
-Topaz
January 31st, 2007 08:50
I think that I would be Tally but that is just me!!
February 3rd, 2007 12:19
I would not be Tally’s mom. What the heck, Topaz. I would be myself, sneaking into a scene as a random passerby. So there.
February 6th, 2007 09:50
hey omg taylor i HATE HATE HATE HATE YOU! save that for the spoliers page! i didnt get there in specials yet and now you KILLED IT FOR ME!!!!!!! im not actually that mad but please next time dont tell people that beacuse, like me, THEY DONT KNOW THAT YET AND NOW YOU KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! but seriously what does scott have with killing or doing something to all the cool characters? (ie zane and someone from the midnighters who i will not mention in case any of you have not read it yet. im still devestated about what happened at the end of blue noon. why?????? WHY??????????)
February 6th, 2007 09:54
oh and i would be Jonathana or dess. Jonathan because i like Jonathan and hes wicked awsome and i would die to be able to fly and the midnighters quiz i took said i would be 72% him. i would be dess because although im not a polymath, i am pretty good at math. i have a 93 in math and im year ahead of everyone in my class. (im in a class with all sophmores and 3 freshmen) and “it’s good to be the one who does the math” gotta love dess.
February 6th, 2007 09:54
her name is cool too. desdemona. so much cooler than kiersten
February 14th, 2007 08:56
Next year I’ll be in a class with all sophmores. And you guys are reading the comment of a math genius right now. My team made it to state in MATHCOUNTS. And I’m the only girl on the team..yeah I’m totally representing all the girls out there! Plus, I’m the ONLY one in my math class..no other girl is smart enough to take Algebra as an 8th grader. Ha..and I’m workin’ a little on Geometry too to prepare myself for state.
February 15th, 2007 08:50
Go 8th graders in Algebra! Yesh, I am one, too. And yes, I did mean to type ‘yesh.’ But there are more girls than me in my class. Practically all the eigth graders are in Algebra. 7th graders, too. I think there are only about four or five 9th graders. We have taken over! Go us!
February 15th, 2007 12:13
Haha..there’s only 8 of us at the middle school..and no 7th graders–thank gosh! But then there’s only about 50 people in our grade..so that sucks!
February 16th, 2007 01:57
There’s only thirty people in my grade! 90 students in all! Woo!
February 17th, 2007 04:11
Haha wow that sucks. I used to live in a town of 300 people and there were only 15 people in my class. I thought you said you lived in Seattle..isn’t that a big city with lots of people?
February 17th, 2007 14:00
Yeah, but I go to a choice school. And we only have 90 students… and we’re not in Seattle. We live on the Eastside! W00t, go Eastiside!
March 8th, 2007 12:09
Scott! You made a book with my name!
March 12th, 2007 21:46
Argh, why does everything always happen in Sydney! It’s so annoying that you do a signing in the country, a state down from me, and it’s a two day drive to get there! Come to Brisbane! You have fans here, as in, you can’t get your books in the bookshops because they’re sold out!
November 28th, 2007 11:24
how often does scott travel to any were close to nebraska city or lincoln
