Evan Swensen, book publisher and editor, along with his wife, Lois, publishes books by authors worldwide. He has been the publisher and editor of Alaska Outdoors magazine and producer of Alaska Outdoors television show and outdoor videos, and the Host of Alaska Outdoor Radio Magazine. He has been an Alaska resident since 1957. Evan, who lives in Anchorage, has 9 children, 25 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. As a pilot, he has logged more than 4,000 hours of flight time in Alaska, in both wheel and float planes.  He is a serious recreation hunter and fisherman, equally comfortable casting a flyrod or using bait, or lures.   He has been published in many national magazines and is the author of four books, One Last Cast, Angler’s Guide to Alaska, Hiker’s Guide to Alaska, Becoming a Published Author, Bringing Your Book to Market, and publisher of more than 500 books by other authors. Evan claims to have the best job in the world; he gets up in the morning, puts on his fishing vest, picks up his fly rod, kisses his wife goodbye, tells her he’s going to work—and she believes him.
