Alex is an accomplished writer, with awards and publications on both the local and international scale. They’ve worked in everything from fiction, theatre, and poetry to journalism and communication.

Alongside accolades from the Scholastic Writing Awards and publications on various platforms, Alex’s first one-act play, Faye’s Room, received a staged reading at The Arts Club in 2023, and has another with Realwheels Theatre coming up in 2024. Additionally, they’re currently preparing to query their first novel later this year.
