Anders Edwards

Anders Edwards grew up in Seattle but now calls Colorado home, where he lives with his spouse and three children. Before becoming a writer, Anders spent over a decade working directly with 6th–12th grade students, an experience that gave him a deep understanding of how young people think, what they struggle with, and the role technology plays in their everyday lives.
A lifelong daydreamer inspired by The Giver and stories of alternate worlds, Anders combines his firsthand experience with a background in tech to write books that meet young readers where they are, exploring the "what-ifs" of the future through thought-provoking questions about society, technology, and human resilience.
