About the author
A curious thing happened on the way to living – Pamela Skjolsvik had to get comfortable with dying.
While trying to reach her thesis adviser, her calls were repeatedly misrouted to a funeral home. By the time she finally reached her adviser the decision was made to become the Death Writer. With little experience with death or grief, and little social engagement with the living, Pamela launched into an immersive and intense period of interviewing the dying and those who work with people in the days immediately before and after the inevitable.
Two years after finishing research on what would become “Death Becomes Us,” Pamela was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. Part of her exposure treatment included joining a writers’ group and reading regularly in front of them. It was at the DFW Writers’ Workshop that her first novel, Forever 51, was born.
Founder of the 2020 Quarantine Book Club, Pamela holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Goucher College and an MLS from the University of North Texas. She has been recognized for her non-fiction work by Writer’s Digest, Creative Nonfiction and the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. When not crafting thought provoking work, Pamela works to preserve and protect rare books. She lives in North Texas with her family of artists, husband Erik, and teenage children Lola and Nik
