About the Author
From Open Water to Open Pages
Blair Northen Williamson is an award-winning children's author, national school speaker, devoted mom, and lifelong ocean explorer.
Before becoming an author, she worked as a scuba diving instructor and boat captain, guiding others across open water and beneath the sea's surface.
Those years surrounded by coral reefs now shape the vivid stories she writes for children. Represented by Andie Smith, Creative Media Agency.
