FAQs
Working With Alice
-
Yes! I love connecting with readers and writers of all ages. I offer in-person and virtual visits for schools, libraries, festivals, and book clubs. Just reach out through my Contact page and we can chat about possibilities.
-
I’m proud to be part of the coaching team at The Novelry, where I mentor writers through their novels. If you'd like to work with me there, you can find all the details on The Novelry’s website.
About the Books
-
Most of my books are standalone, so you can pick up whichever title speaks to you. You’ll find out more about all my books over here.
-
They’re available in bookstores, online, and in libraries. Each book page on this site has quick links to order.
-
Yes! Availability depends on the title and region, but take a look using the TO BUY links with each book.
-
Those requests go through my agent: jackie@wcaltd.com
Substack/Newsletter
-
A mix of writing life updates, behind-the-scenes peeks at new projects, books I’m loving, and encouragement for fellow writers. It’s my favourite way to stay in touch with readers.
-
Usually twice a month—sometimes a little more if I have exciting book or coaching news.
-
Of course. There’s a button at the bottom of every email (though I hope you’ll stay!)
Coaching and Teaching
-
I occasionally run workshops and guest sessions for schools, festivals, and writing groups, but most of my ongoing teaching now happens through The Novelry, where I work closely with writers finishing their novels.
-
Yes—but only through The Novelry at the moment. That way, writers get not just my support but the full structure, community, and resources of a wonderful writing school.
Contact and Permissions

Just head to the Contact page—whether you’re a reader, a journalist, or a teacher, I’d love to hear from you. You can also find me on Substack or Instagram easily!

Short excerpts are usually fine with credit, especially for reviews or school projects. For anything commercial or longer, please send a request to my agent through the Contact form.

Yes! I read everything. Although I can’t always reply right away, I do get back to every message.
Reader Questions
-
I’m currently working on a murder mystery for adults. My newsletter subscribers get the earliest sneak peeks!
-
I’m working on the next book, another crime novel, but it won’t be a sequel.
-
If you can’t make it to an event, I may be able to send a signed bookplate. Just ask!
Bonus Fun Questions
-
A cup of coffee that goes cold too fast, a stack of books, kid stuff—their crafts and forms for school—and a multicoloured pen!
-
Everywhere—conversations I overhear, my kids’ questions, something odd on a walk, a sentence in a book that sparks a thought… Ideas show up when I pay attention.
-
I wish I could say I light a candle and meditate, but honestly? I open my laptop, put on a playlist, and start typing—even when I don’t feel ready. The ritual is simply beginning.
