Scott Woods is the author and editor of over nine books and has been featured multiple times in national press, including multiple appearances on National Public Radio. He is currently President of Poetry Slam Inc., which oversees the annual National Poetry Slam, the Individual World Poetry Slam, and the Women of the World Poetry Slam; and is the founder of the Writers’ Block Poetry Night in Columbus Ohio. In April of 2006 he became the first poet to ever complete a 24-hour solo poetry reading, a feat he bested in 2007 by performing for another 24 hours, but without repeating a single poem. He pens a monthly column for GotPoetry.com, entitled "Poetry is Doomed", is the founder of the Greatest Slow Jam Ever website, DJ's a PodCast called Scott's Groove Locker, and has been featured at an art show called "Traces" featuring his original paintings. In between all this he finds time to write poetry. He is Lex Luther meets Paul Roberson with a touch of Chuck D for Style Points.
