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.
