The New York Times interviewed John Scalzi '87 about his new novel "Redshirts," which debuted at No. 15 on the New York Times hardcover best-seller list. The article even includes a mention of Webb and fellow classmate Josh Marshall of talkingpointsmemo.com.

Scalzi visited the Webb campus in April 2012 where he met with students and faculty to talk about his life as a writer. He recalled his early days writing for school publications like the Blue & Gold and Sage, and he reconnected with former faculty like history teacher Dave Fawcett.
