Alex Roddie

Look up and see the stars.

I write about the things that matter – wildness, nature, environment, and finding silence in a noisy age.

Hi.

I am an award-winning professional writer and editor with years of experience in the outdoor industry (and I hike a fair bit too). If you’re looking to write an outdoor book, or if you work with an adventure magazine and need a trained pair of eyes, I can help.
