'''Peter Weston''' is an award-winning British [[fanzine]] editor.

Peter Weston has the distinction of winning the first [[Nova Award for Best Fanzine]], presented in 1973, for his fanzine ''[[Speculation]]''. Weston had begun the fanzine in 1963. Weston had released it under the title ''Zenith'' for the first six issues, which lasted from 1963 till 1964, unaware that [[Harry Turner]] has previously published a fanzine of the same name in the 1940s. Upon discovering this, he renamed the zine  ''Zenith Speculation'' for issues 7 to 13, between 1964 and 1966. At that time it assumed its final identity, ''Speculation''. 

His current project is ''[[Relapse]]'', a former 1980s [[apazine]] which was relaunched in 2006 under the title [[Prolapse]] and received a [[Nova Award for Best Fanzine]] in 2007; the 2007 Novacon committee added a further Nova Award for "Best Fan". ''Prolapse'' won again in 2008. That same year it also received the [[FAAn Award for Best Fanzine]]. In 2009 he amended the title to ''Relapse''.


Weston chronicled his early involvement with fanzines and conventions in ''[[With Stars in My Eyes: My Adventures in British Fandom]]'' (NESFA Press, 2004), which earned him a Hugo Award nomination.
