Author/Journalist
Tom Zoellner is the author of five nonfiction books, including the recent Train: Riding the Rails that Created the Modern World (Viking/Penguin), which Booklist hails as, “An exuberant celebration.” He is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling An Ordinary Man, the unforgettable autobiography of Paul Rusesabagina, who turned Rwana’s luxurious Hotel Milles Collines into a refuge for more than 1,200 Tutsi and moderate Hutu refugees during the 1994 genocide and inspired the film Hotel Rwanda, starring Don Cheadle. His book Uranium won the 2011 Science Writing Award from The American Institute of Physics. As a reporter he has worked for the San Francisco Chronicle and The Arizona Republic, and as a contributing editor for Men’s Health magazine. An associate professor of English at Chapman University, Tom is also a founding member of the journalism collective Deca, an international collective of journalists devoted to eliminating the barriers separating writers and readers by delivering nonfiction stories about the world directly to them.
