Debby Dahl Edwardson, Alaskan Writer

...and welcome to my world.

I live in Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost community on the North American Continent, and I love sharing stories about life in the Arctic.

Why do I write?

I write to make sense of the world. I write to communicate, in the best way I can, my own unique vision. Everybody has a vision that is theirs alone. Mine has been molded by living, for nearly thirty years, with the Ińupiat, the real people of the Arctic, from whom I have learned much and am still learning. Theirs is a spirit as strong and beautiful as the Arctic itself and, as a writer, I seek always to share this spirit with my readers.

I've worked as a radio reporter, a newspaper writer, a public relations specialist and a school board member, but my favorite job is writing the stories that speak to my heart, stories for my children and grandchildren, my friends, my family, and my own endless fancy.
