AAJA Hong Kong will host a Meet the Authors event on Tuesday, April 3. Find out how three journalists got their books published. What’s the process like? And do you need a book agent?

His book, “The New Northwest Passage: A Voyage to the Front Line of Climate Change” is about his voyage through Canada’s Northwest Passage, describing the climate change, political and economic challenges faced by Inuit communities, while putting the entire story in the historical context of Arctic exploration.
