Evan Swensen has spent more than half a century helping writers bring meaningful books into the world. As founder of Publication Consultants, he has edited, published, and championed hundreds of authors whose stories strengthen communities, elevate public understanding, and honor lived experience. His work extends from Alaska's bush to national audiences, always guided by a simple conviction: words can do good. A lifelong advocate for secure homeownership, he has seen firsthand how families lose homes not through misfortune, but through a system many never fully understood. End Property Tax grows from his own experience at the kitchen table, from decades of conversations with homeowners, and from his belief that stability is the foundation of strong families. Evan writes blogs, leads writer communities, and speaks widely on the purpose and responsibility of authors. His work reflects a publisher's eye, a storyteller's heart, and a citizen's hope for a fairer future. He and his family continue to gather in the Anchorage home whose story helped spark this book.
