George Guthridge is an American author. He has published over 70 short stories and five novels. He has been a finalist for the Hugo Award and twice for the Nebula Award for science fiction and fantasy. In 1998 he and coauthor, Janet Berliner, won the Bram Stoker Award for the year's best horror novel.
Guthridge is also known for having coached ten students from the Siberian Yupik Eskimo village of Gambell, Alaska, on blizzard-swept St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, to national championships in academics. They became the only Native American team ever to do that—and they did it twice. Guthridge is also the author of The Kids from Nowhere: The Story Behind the Arctic Educational Miracle, published by Alaska Northwest Books in 2006.
