The next Outdoor Explorer will be focusing on writing about Alaska. We'll have two of Alaska’s best and most successful authors in the studio, each of whom have told stories that take into account the terrain and landscapes, the myth and grandeur of the state, in both fiction and in non fiction. Eowyn Ivey is perhaps Alaska’s best selling author. She wrote The snow child, and her wonderful new book is The Bright Edge of the World. Tom Kizzia is the author of Pilgrims Wilderness, and has recently also written Alaska in the New Yorker.
