Orson Scott Card (born August 24, 1951)[1] is a popular American writer, critic, political writer, and speaker. He is best known for his science fiction books. Both his novel Ender's Game and its sequel, Speaker for the Dead, won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.[2][3][4] That makes Card the only writer (as of 2007) to win both of science fiction's top prizes two years in a row.[4]
Card is an English professor at Southern Virginia University. He has written two books on creative writing. Card teaches other people about writing. He is also a judge in the Writers of the Future competition. His great-great-grandfather is Brigham Young, who was a leader for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Card is also a member of it.
Card still writes many fiction works. He has also produced writing about church, politics, and society in his columns and books.
