Alicia Edgar

Hi, I’m Alicia Edgar, born on December 7, 2008. I’m an author and illustrator, and I write young adult novels like Pathway to the Country, Still Learning You, and Pathway to the City. I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and autism when I was young, and those experiences have shaped how I see the world—and how I write. I started writing seriously in 2022 and finished my first novel in 2024. I love exploring themes like personal growth, friendship, family, and music in my stories, often inspired by small-town Southern life. When I’m not writing, I enjoy drawing, singing, reading, and sharing my experiences as a neurodiverse creator.
