Her debut, ***Life on the Refrigerator Door***, introduced readers around the world to her intimate, character-driven storytelling. She has since written novels including ***The Worst Thing She Ever Did***, ***The Death of Us***, and ***Me and Me***, as well as the ***Polly Diamond*** chapter-book series, the ***Violet & Victor*** picture books, and multiple titles for young readers.
Alongside her own writing, Alice has mentored thousands of writers online and in person. She now coaches authors globally as Head of Coaching at The Novelry.

With a degree in Psychology and an MA in Creative Writing, she brings clarity, creativity, and care to both her teaching and her work.
Originally from London, England, Alice moved to the Canadian prairies twenty years ago. She now lives in Saskatoon with her partner, author Yann Martel, their four children, and various pets. Her writing and teaching centre on flow, creativity, and the belief that stories help us pay closer attention to what matters.
