The online version of Publisher’s Weekly has a lovely article about the Uglies trilogy and Extras. It contains unexpected revelations about the origins of my ideas for the book.
It also turns out that the series has sold more than a million copies, which is pretty bubbly. Thanks to all of you who made your friends and family read it. No book sells that many copies without word of mouth.
Also, my Taiwanese translator thinks you guys are awesome: “I am impressed [by] your readers’ definitions (I spent a lot time to read through all the posts, they made me laugh sometimes). . . . It’s great to know how other readers comprehend and perceive this novel, and certainly it helps me to get more clear ideas about these terms. Many thanks to them.”

Woohoo!! Awesome!
September 22nd, 2007 04:10
awesome!!!! thats really kool
September 22nd, 2007 04:23
I didn’t know Uglies has sold over a million. That’s amazing! I mean, I see a lot of people aroud school with a copy, but I didn’t know it was that popular. Congratulations!
I found it really amusing that someone asked if you know Paris Hilton. Many lawlz.
September 22nd, 2007 06:54
Over a million copies… phew, wow, that’s quite an accomplishment
September 22nd, 2007 07:34
Holy cow thats awesome! :]
September 22nd, 2007 07:36
Um Scott or anyone reading this what is a Bologna Fair? (its in the article)
Haha I had to sing the song to spell bologna.
September 22nd, 2007 07:47
The Bologna Book Fair is every year (March or April) in Bologna, Italy. It’s where all the young people’s publishers get together and sell international rights to each other. So I was there to meet my current foreign publishers and drum up new ones.
The meals there are amazing, as you’d expect from an Italian city with food named after it.
September 22nd, 2007 07:53
awesome! what times are tyou going to be in chicago? is it open to the public?
September 22nd, 2007 08:03

September 22nd, 2007 08:07
=D yup go me, i recomended that book in my reading classes and almost everyone read it. and of course i made my friends read it and they ended it up wanting a copy haha.
September 22nd, 2007 08:24
me and jess forced our friends to read the trilogy. at first they were quite annoyed, then they were thanking us!
fool!!!!! a million copies!!!
September 22nd, 2007 08:53
That’s really awesome even if I didn’t even give a suggestion to the meaning of the word. But I do tell everyone that you are my fav author!
September 22nd, 2007 08:58
Scott, I literally screamed when I read that there might be more books like Extras. After you saying that, you just *have* to write more. Can’t wait til Oct 2!!!
September 22nd, 2007 09:04
Woo! Congrats on the million copies! I can only imagine how proud you are.
I still want some of your Uglies shirts, but I want “The Smoke Lives!” in the form fitting, long sleeved hoodies! Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be buying something soon
Congratulations again!
September 22nd, 2007 09:07

September 22nd, 2007 12:00
“To understand who I was, they desperately needed to know, ‘Do ya authors hang with Hannah Montana?’ â€
Ohmygosh! That line made me laugh so much!!!!
And the coat you’re wearing in the picture of the Bologna Fair (interesting name, btw) is very matrix. =]

I am currently trying to get two of my friends(both are female) to read the UGLIES trilogy. One has already agreed that she will try it out after end of year exams(which is around 17 November) and the other is in the pending stage. I will not give up! When I tried to introduce it to my younger brother(13yrs old this yr), he seems not to be very interested. Maybe he judged the book by its cover…though I LOVE the covers of the trilogy and EXTRAS! =^0^=
September 22nd, 2007 22:31
1 million copies.
If my knee is exploding at this, surely your whole face must be.
Holy crap well done
September 22nd, 2007 23:27
congrats!!!!!!
btw i get soo confused because this site is always a day ahead of me like this said september 22 when it was the 21 for me..it really gets me confused
September 22nd, 2007 23:49
Oh, wow, a million copies!
I really enjoyed the ideas you had behind writing another book set in the Uglies world. I also loved your quote of:
“Also, there are good reasons why science fiction books tend to come in series: it’s a waste to set up a whole world if you’re only going to use it once.”
I’m so going to take that out of context and just quote ‘it’s a waste to set up a whole world if you’re only going to use it once’ constantly!!!
I am even MORE excited for Extras now.
September 23rd, 2007 01:31
yay over one million!!!
lol i have forced my friends to read Midnighters and Uglies (the whole trilogy). ^_^ whenever i find a great book, i read it, take it to school, and shove it in their faces. XD
September 23rd, 2007 01:34
2 more weeks… ahhh!!! Can’t wait for Extras.
September 23rd, 2007 01:37

Only 858728 Seconds Til EXTRAS!!!!
(lucky 13!)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Love the review by the way!
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 23rd, 2007 09:01
fawesome. i, for one, annoy all my friends to death by forcing them to read good books. really, they’ve got no initiative without me.
and the school librarian actually once asked me to make a list of what new books she should buy. i’m like, peeps, the water mirror, the haunting of alaziabel cray, anything else by scott westerfeld, and amelia atwater-rhodes.
and she bought them all!
it made me feel really special.
and in fact, right now my mom is reading the last days after much needling.
and when are we gonna get information on this phantom airship historical fiction edwardian slovakian austria-hungary trilogy coming out?????????must know obbsessive details to lord over friends (like the fact i knew extras was gonna exist months before them. in fact, without me they still might not know. sigh. hopeless.)
September 23rd, 2007 09:18
every day i say ___ days till october 2nd!!! and my mom says, what that new scott westerfeld book? she hasnt even read any of his books, but i talk about them so much that she knows when extras is comming out!
September 23rd, 2007 09:22
yeah. i send random emails to my friends with like, 9 days til extras!!!
even the ones who haven’t read the uglies trilogy.
i scare them sometimes.
September 23rd, 2007 12:28
thats really fool!
Serafina Zane: That maybe scary but atleast they prolly know what your talking about. I say ’594′ and my friends refer me to the councillor.
September 23rd, 2007 13:14
Okay, I seriously need to start slowing down when I read a book for the first time.
I’ve been re-reading the Uglies trilogy over the past few days, and I’ve come to realize that I remember NOTHING about Specials. Like, zilch.
I have this bad habit where I tend to rush through new books just to see what happens without really reading everything. Which kind of takes away the whole point of reading in the first place.
And now I’m discovering a whole bunch of new stuff that I never read (or read about and forgot)in the book.
Yay for re-reading!
September 23rd, 2007 16:54
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THE THEME OF UFLIES
September 23rd, 2007 16:55
*uglies*
September 23rd, 2007 23:29
WOOT FOR RE-READING!!! Im re-reading the Uglies trilogy 2!!! (oh ya high five Tiera) and ive been noticing a lot of things i never noticed before about the books. like in uglies “It was Shay. She was Pretty” and then Pretties “It was Shay. She was Special”. I have (re)gotten through Specials yet though. And also i noticed the running story of the princess in Pretties and how it perfectly worked with the plot. and all i hav to say is: SCOTT-LA YOU ARE (re)BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!:D
YAY FOR RE-READING!
September 23rd, 2007 23:34
hmmmm…. theme of uglies… well there’s kinda more than one. u could go the easy way out and say it’s “the inner beauty that counts, not outer beauty”. u could say something about how the Rusties (we) destroyed (are destroying) the world and we hav to stop it. u could say something about brains being more important than beauty. u could say something about individuality. or well, lotsa stuff. was that helpful nel??? i hope so.
September 23rd, 2007 23:38
one last thing:hey scott-la, the little blurb isnt just gonna say “the thrilling fourth book in the series” is it??? COME ON! ur more creative than that. o well. im gonna buy it anyway.
September 24th, 2007 00:21
i reread the uglies trilogy in june. i remember so much stuff now!
September 24th, 2007 00:31
it is hard to describe the theme of Uglies but i would say that this is it:
No matter how you look, you are still the same on the inside.
September 24th, 2007 00:34
sorry for the triple post but…
i agree with Bri-la. dont let extras say “the thrilling fourth book in the seriesâ€. i hated what it said on specials…
“the final volume in the highly acclaimed Uglies trilogy”
September 24th, 2007 00:58
wow. so much happened when in the time span of my writing of a global studies essay. but i’m done now. so…
HUZZAH!!! only 8 (or nine. depends on who you talk to.) days till EXTRAS!!! i don’t think i’ll be buying the hardcover edition though. i already requested it from my library, and i’m waiting for a paperback copy to release b/c they have the best taglines. i am gonna buy the boxed set of uglies though, since i think that’s just AWESOME.
and that’s a pretty fexcellent coat you’ve got there, scott.
September 24th, 2007 01:06
clarification: i WILL eventually buy Extras, just waiting for the paperback. i’m too cheap to fork over the extra 2 or 3 dollars for hardcover lol.
also, i want to have the whole series in one format, so if i get the paperbak boxed set i want Extras to match it.
September 24th, 2007 01:07
^^ i’m OCD like that. gotta have everything in perfect order.
ok i’ll stop commenting now. at least until someone else does.
September 24th, 2007 04:04
yeah, i’m rereading specials now too. i like it a lot more this time.
i really dig special shay, when she’s all like, yeah, let’s break into the armory, what the heck? this may be the most fun of her brain-incarnations.
and i waited for specials, but that was when i was first reading westerfeld bks and i didn’t wait for the release date on that one. so i will be preordering extras in my own special OCD way. but the tagline is ttly lame.
September 24th, 2007 04:18
im gonna get extras the day it comes out so half of the books will be paperback and the other half will be hard cover.
Hint- the first 2 are paperback and the last two will be hardcover.
and scott…
should we count extras as a part of the series? i mean uglies is a TRILOGY. would extras make that TRILOGY have four books? or would extras be on its own? if extras is part of the TRILOGY, then it isnt a TRILOGY anymore.
and i am aware the word trilogy is in capital letters.
PS is the word trilogy looking weird to you now, because it is looking weird to me.
September 24th, 2007 04:30
yeah…tril-o-gy. words are extremely odd things, when u get down to it. and i don’t think it’s part of the trilogy, i think it’s more of a stand-alone. but that’s just me. wow, i am going to such depths to avoid my english essay. focusing now.
September 24th, 2007 04:52
I’ve been reading Macbeth and Lord of the Flies for my honors English class and I havn’t had time to re-read the uglies trilogy!!! Think I can finish Lord of the flies and read it in 8 days????
September 24th, 2007 05:01
lol i’m trying ro write my english essay 2. I’m so bad a focusing.
September 24th, 2007 05:11
i have geometry homework
September 24th, 2007 05:12
i also noticed that scott doesnt post that much on weekends. so i guess i should do my homework
September 24th, 2007 05:14
i have a geometry test on monday, so no homework. and the essay’s on All Quiet on the Western Front, and i’m only rewriting it. the teacher dude says it should actually be about the book, not the evilness of war and goverment in general. they ruin all my fun.
and i actually have to lock myself away from good books to make myself focus on homework. i’m not so big on work ethic.
September 24th, 2007 05:58
Dang. A million copies… Congratulations!
And can’t wait for Extras to come out. Only a few more days, right!
September 24th, 2007 06:13
Ur essay beats my essay. We watched a scene from 3 macbeth moveis and i have to compare them. AND i had geometry hw. wow i feel overloaded
September 24th, 2007 06:38
ha. i don’t know if i should be sad or happy that my essay trumps all. at least i don’t have homework in any other subjects, for once.
September 24th, 2007 07:05
Lord of The Flies has got to be the most irritating book I’ve ever read. We just got done reading in in my Honors Lit. class.
*bashes head in with a spiky baseball bat*
I hate school assigned books! They’re always boring, and it sucks more because you’re being tested on it! ERRGH!
I absolutely despise homework.I have a huge biology project due on Tuesday, and I’d rather go jump into a pool of that fun silver goo of doom that Shay and Tally used to destroy the Armory than work on it. I hate projects. Especially when they’re pointless, and especially when your teacher insists that you work on them over the weekend instead of in class.
WEEKENDS ARE MINE! They’re my mental health days! *GROWLS*
September 24th, 2007 07:32
ugh homework! i just finished my social studies project. it was actually pretty fun. i made candy bar wrappers (and cardboard candy bars) to represent the 3 branches of government. i know ttly lame assignment but i think my is pretty cool.
September 24th, 2007 07:32
actually, not all school assigned books are bad. last year i had to read the outsiders. i love that book!
well maybe all high school assigned books are bad. i wouldnt know. im only in 8th grade
September 24th, 2007 07:34
wow. i hate Social Studies.
September 24th, 2007 07:35
so bored
>:o
September 24th, 2007 07:45
this is so bubbly making!
extras is cummin out in october!
ahhhhhhh!
i’m so pumped!
September 24th, 2007 08:26
hey can you plz help me Mr.Scott i really need help for this book report due this wendsday (sept. 26) and today is the 23rd and this is kind f a major grade but nobody knew about it and my friend was just like ‘natalia you have to do this its not due next month its due this month!’ and i need to know why you write(?) and what you usually write about(how people can change i think), plus genres you prefer(i think that one is fiction or realistic fiction?).
ANYBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!! please!
thank you!
ps scott, I love your books when i read uglies for the first time i couldnt put it down and since i am a REALLY fast reader i finished it in about 1 hour!
September 24th, 2007 08:33
wow, look at all the people complaining about their homwork now!
well yeah my global studies teacher is phenomenally evil (i love adding “phenomenally” in front of other words)—last friday she had us write an essay in class in 55 minutes, which is bad enough b/c i always erase and re-erase what i write, so it always takes me forever (that’s why i like computers–DELETE BUTTON!). but surprisingly, i finished with about 10 minutes left, and was actually feeling better about it than i had been going into it, since the essay question focused on everything that we’d been learning, not just a specific piece, so i was able to use all the information i’d studied the day before.
well this past friday (2 days ago) we all got them back. here are some carefully selected quotes of hers:
“[the essays] were all HORRIBLE. the number of them that were actually halfway decent, i could count on one hand”
“if you write like this on the regents, you’ll fail”
“yes, i AM mean, aren’t i?”
and i promise you, i didn’t even make any of those up.
so now we have to redo them for monday, but luckily i finished it last night.
September 24th, 2007 08:38
yes but thats not my point is it? it(my point) is that teachers are mean and cruel when it comes to homewok, arent they?
September 24th, 2007 08:50
wow, that is one evil teacher. my annoying english teacher just assigns stuff and starts stuff and then totally forgets about it, which really gets to me.
and luckily my essay’s almost done.
and i think that school-assigned bad is a combo of horrible selection and dragging it out painfully with notes and tests and stuff to crush any enjoyment at all. the only remotely interesting thing we’ve read in the last two years was animal farm. i’d say the worst was hatchet.
and i really touched a nerve with the homework thing, eh?
September 24th, 2007 08:51
natalia–try the Scott Facts page–it gives some basic info about when/where he was born, faves, stuff like that. the link to it is kinda near the top of this blog page. see the small pics of the book covers? you’re almost there. go right below them, where it says “Faves.” click on the one that says “Scott Facts.”
and for more specific questions, i suggest emailing scott directly.
if you’re actually still here.
September 24th, 2007 08:51
and i love how some teachers’ll be like, u should be done with your project already, i gave you lots of time. u haven’t had homework all week. and it’s like, yeah, but we’ve still had homework in every other subject!
it really gets to me when teachers get convinced that thier class is the only/most important subject you have. get real.
September 24th, 2007 08:59
yeah, that’s how my G.S. teacher is! i hate that, b/c while they think you’ve had all this time, you’ve actually had 3 tests to study for, 2 essays due, plus regular homework!
and Natalia, would you happen to be the “nel” from #48? i’m probably totally wrong, but i noticed that that person was also asking about the books (rather desperately, and your first name starts with “N” and last name starts with “L” so i was just wondering.
and i wrote my comment on my global studies teacher before i saw yours, so that’s why i din’t mention you. that’s why it didn’t mesh with your “point.”
September 24th, 2007 09:02
excuse me, *didn’t. second-to-last sentence of my last comment.
September 24th, 2007 10:48
i hate homework. the only homework i like is when the teachers say “read for at least 20 minutes tonight” yepyepyep. yeah. wer doing a big social studies project right now two. i HATE social studies. its my worst subject. i mean, i still get an A on it, but not as high of an A as on everything else. yepyepyep.
luckily, i have a REALLY nice language/social studies teacher this year. unlike last year. gives us half an hour a day just to do whatever we want while she reads a random something. yepyepyep. it is so funny how my last year teacher was always talking about how mean and strict the 7th grade teachers are.pphhf! she gave me a lunch detention for gluing something down to a project while she was telling us about her last nite’s salsa lesson and how great her parking spot was. SALSA?! PARKING SPOT!? uuggghhh.
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 24th, 2007 11:05
ya know, with all that talk about leaving stories open and same world different people stuff you’re just begging for some *cough*MORE MIDNIGHTERS DAMMIT*cough*
September 24th, 2007 11:27
I read the Outsiders in 7th grade too, and I have to say that it’s the only school-assigned book I could read without wanting to burn it.
Teacher just annoy me in general. They’re always assuming that we have these huge expanses of time in which to do homework, when most of us really don’t! And there should be some sort of personality test they have to pass before getting a job to make sure that they’re not overly evil. My 7th grade Algebra teacher was probably the only teacher I was ever truly afraid of, and she ended up on the news for harrassing several students.
Boy, do I love my county’s educational employment system.
And what really gets me is those pointless subjects, like science and social studies. Okay, maybe they’re not pointless, but I hate them to death! We shouldn’t be required to take classes that don’t relate to the job we hope to get in the future. I hope to own a fashion boutique. If I want to know what type of trees are found in the arctic tundra or what the five themes of geography are, I’ll use Google, thank you very much. No one will even remember any of that junk in 10 years, unless they become a scientist or geologist or whatever.
Okay, I’m rambling. Haha.
September 24th, 2007 11:35
thanx bri-la for the themes it was so helpful =)
September 24th, 2007 11:50
Wicked awseome Scott!!

September 24th, 2007 12:32
and i know!!! dude, i haven’t gotten my insideadog t-shirt yet either!!!! i’m starting to get worried…
September 24th, 2007 12:46
well since i haven’t recieved an answer i’m assuming that you both aren’t the same person, but nevertheless, i’m gonna push it again:
nel, are you the same person as Natalia L?
sorry i just get really persistant and annoying when people don’t answer my questions. seriously. one of you just say no already! lol
wonderful school system you’ve got there, huh, teira?
the best school-assigned book that i’ve ever read was Freak the Mighty in 7th, but i’d already read it in 5th but i loved it all over again.
the worst would have to be A Day No Pigs Would Die in eighth, i mean it’s already such a controversial book–not to mention BORING, why make us read it. it’s so gory, too…eew.
seriously i hope none of you all ever have to read it, it’s pure torture. scream and run maniacally from anyone who tells you otherwise!
September 24th, 2007 12:48
*cough cough* 4TH MIDNIGHTERS BOOK *cough cough* if you dont, i’ll sue! no im just kiddn. i say that two everything. even when the cafeteria took away the chocolate milk. i walked up to her and said “if you dont bring chocolate milk back, i’ll sue!” yepyepyep. but what i CAN do is form an angry mob.
all in favor of forming an angry mob if Scott-la doesn’t rite a 4th Midnighters say I.
I!
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 24th, 2007 12:55
best school assigned book…hhmm…Running Out Of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix. yepyepyep. not the best book in the world, but better than the rest i had to read. my sister LOVES Freak the Mighty. she says i have to read it, but i havent gotten around to it yet.
Taylor-wa…how many stars? 5 tops.
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 24th, 2007 13:04
yeah, we did a day no pigs shall die too–well, the class did. i can honesty say i didn’t read a word of it. not sure why, i just guessed a lot and read other ppl’s notes. it was almost as boring as the Pigman, which we read before. though that was okay, it was just my comatose-dull english teacher
*cough cough 4th midnighters again cough*
i really can’t think of best book. animal farm maybe? i dunno. i can think of good books i read for school progects, but not good assigned books.
September 24th, 2007 13:33
no im not natalia L
September 24th, 2007 13:57
I!!!!
Scott SHOULD make a fourth midnighters book!
September 24th, 2007 13:58
i have two best school assigned books.

ok, about 2 times a year my school has a book fair. every year we have to watch a stupid movie about the books in the fair. i wasnt really paying attention when a video describes this book about this girl lives in a society where you have this opperation to turn pretty. and she finds a friend who doesnt want to be a pretty. this video goes on and on and on about this book tha sounds really cool! i go to the book fair and buy that book and its sequal. and that is how i found out about the uglies trilogy.
September 24th, 2007 14:04
and then i read more books by scott, and the only teen novel by scott i havent read is so yesterday. i cant find it anywhere! can someone give me an idea on where to find it?
September 24th, 2007 14:14
library, borders, didnt have it at barns and noble when i went tho. maybe they just didnt have it then. most school librarys only have UGLIES and Midnighters. amazon. borrow it?

Oh, wow. I think I would go crazy if I couldn’t find a book. Actually, I go crazy even when I DO get the book I want, because there’s always another one out there. ALWAYS. *twitch, twitch*
If you’ve got one of those huge Barnes&Noble or Borders by you, Amy-la, they should have the book there. Or you could order it from the website, it your parents will let you.

omg so much homework talk… wonder if scott is noticing how many of his fans is in honors … and i so agree with Taylor a day no pigs would die was on eof the most boring and gruesome books i had to read… that totally dampered 8th grade
everyday i tell my parents 10 days…. 9 dyas …. 8 days… 7 days… etc well not the 7 yet anyway but tommorrow theyll hear it and i think there actually getting sick of it… but who cares
later today im going up in front of about 30 ppl adn doing a persuasive speech on why you should read the uglies trilogy (ya totally obesssed and must make everything scott books related)
:} :] 
having fun with faces oh yeah

o and Taylor sry about not answering but i was kind of having dinner and… yeah soooo… sorry but no I am not nel but once again those are my initials.
September 25th, 2007 11:52
WAIT! So Extras isn’t going to be it’s own separate trilogy?! I thought there would be more after Extras!
that’s kinda bogus Scott!
I’m extremely excited to read it though! and congrate about selling over a million copies of the UPS trilogy; it’s crazy that i’m one of those million!

Well as for more books I’d like to hear about the fall of the rusties the advent of the operations (special and pretty) and maybe something from one of the rangers’ point of view? I don’t know. Just stuff I think would be interesting but okay….
GO SCOTT!
I wish I could say I contributed but only one of my friends speaks english and he doesn’t read very quickly.
