Welcome to my Website
You will find information about my books as well as my thirteen edited collections that take readers to Alaska, the Antarctic, and many beautiful places in between. Many of these anthologies celebrate women in the outdoors, often on solo adventures. I also list events, talks, or classes I am giving. Please join me! If you read my almanac or informal writings, send me a note—I love hearing from readers.

MY BOOKS
"Learning the Birds is a perfectly balanced blend of history, science, travel, and adventure.” —Katie Fallon
“In My Reach, Susan Fox Rogers shares her deep affection for the complex beauty of the Hudson.”—Jessica DuLong
ABOUT
I am a writer, birder, teacher, editor, rock climber, and kayaker. I write about the natural world and adventures large and small in the outdoors. My first book My Reach: A Hudson River Memoir explores the Hudson River from the perspective of my kayak and meanders through history, natural history, and personal history. My second book, Learning the Birds: A Mid-life Adventure, chronicles the first three years of my late-in-life bird journey, from the Hudson Valley, to Florida, Arizona, and Alaska. There’s bird adventures, detours through history, and a little bit about me. According to some readers, you don't have to be a birder to enjoy this memoir. But you’ll probably want to go bird watching.
