About the teacher
Author Dagny McKinley has lived many places, but found a home in the expansive granite landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountain range before she moved to the Rockies. She has lived in Steamboat Springs for twelve years, where her writings and research have focused on local histories as well as fiction set in nature. She is as comfortable in the city as she is in the wilderness, but prefers the challenges of big mountains and surviving outdoors.

She believes all lives are interconnected and each person, landscape and insect has something to offer and teach. Writing has been a part of McKinley’s life since she was a small child. She found healing through writing and nature and continues immerse herself in those passions today. McKinley has an MFA from Naropa University and a BA from the University of Western Ontario.
