Tom Seymour

Besides writing freelance pieces for a number of magazines, I am also a regular columnist and feature writer for The Maine Sportsman Magazine, New England’s largest circulation outdoor magazine. Additionally, I produce a column called "Wild Edibles," for Maine Food & Lifestyle Magazine, a quarterly publication devoted to “foodies” and a regular contributor to Fisherman’s Voice Magazine, specializing in maritime history and human-interest stories.

My book credits include Wild Plants of Maine, A Useful Guide and Hidden World Revealed, Musings of A Maine Naturalist, both by Just Write Books, Topsham, Maine. I also wrote Foraging New England, Fishing Maine, Hiking Maine, Off The Beaten Path, Maine and Birding Maine, all for Globe Pequot Press. The Maine Sportsman has published a collection of my wildlife columns in book form as an inducement to subscribers. Finally, Tom Seymour's Maine, A Maine Anthology, iUniverse Press, is a collection of Maine history and folklore.

Foraging for wild plants is my great passion and these figure largely in my diet. I live in a small cottage that sits well off the road on 10 acres of land in Waldo, Maine.
