Dear AlaskaWriter,
Welcome to the AlaskaWriters Homestead, a home on the Web for writers from Alaska, and others who share Alaska’s pioneering spirit.

The site is in a constant process of revision — some of which you can see, but all of which keeps the site moving and growing. In fact, as of March 25, 2008, we have moved to new server space.

If you want to be informed about upcoming features or updates to the site, sign up above for the AlaskaWriters mailing list and you may actually see an e-mail from me once in a while. I don’t share or sell my e-mail list, and I only write with occasional updates.

Enjoy, tell your friends — and keep in touch!
