I specialise in writing and developing children’s books full of facts, interactivity and creative twists. I have 10 years of experience as an in-house and freelance editor, providing both senior editorial oversight and hands-on creative development for a range of books and digital projects. I’m very familiar with the publishing process.

I also offer 1-to-1 author coaching packages, and author talks and workshops tailored to your needs.

Alice is a dream to work with. She has a unique ability for communicating complex ideas to young readers, and is able to compose and edit text that is at once concise and brimming with personality. Matched with rock-solid research skills, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the ability to visualise the end book, Alice is the ultimate children’s author and editor.

– Anna Ridley, Commissioning & Managing Editor, Children’s Publishing, Thames & Hudson

Alice is an extremely experienced and creative development editor and author. She brings a strong awareness of current cultural issues to her writing and idea development work. I would recommend her for any project.

– Georgia Amson-Bradshaw, Publisher, Quarto Kids

Alice gave an excellent presentation to our members about the different genres of writing for children: on what works for children, what interests them, and the special value of non-fiction. She is clearly well on top of her subject!

– Brenda Stones, Event Manager for Writers in Oxford

It’s been fantastic working with Alice, and I’m so glad she’s come on board the project as a development editor. Alice has been consistently brilliant at sensitively suggesting changes to authors. She has a great eye for picking up on detail, while also being really creative with solutions and bearing in mind students’ needs at all times.

– Georgie Carter, Project Manager, Oxford University Press
