Alex Cotter has worked hard all her life at daydreaming, while making a living from words: from bookselling to publicising The Booker Prize to copywriting. As a fiction writer, her work has been nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal and selected for the Read for Empathy collection. She combines writing with editing and mentoring other writers and is also an Associate Lecturer in Creative Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University.
Raised in the North, Alex now lives near Bath with her family and one exceptionally chatty cat.
