Biography

Susan Joy Paul has hiked, climbed, snowshoed, and rappelled across Colorado, reaching the summits of over 760 unique mountains and over 1,200 with repeats. She's also visited over 100 lakes and 150 waterfalls and soaked in over 50 hot springs. She is the author of ten outdoor adventure guides. When she's not exploring the state and writing guidebooks, Susan is a sought-after ghostwriter, editor, and book coach at Every Adventure Book Guide. Her prescriptive nonfiction and memoir projects have been published by indie, hybrid, and traditional publishers, and several have appeared on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller lists. Susan lives independently in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
