Alexandra Page

Alexandra Page is a writer of picture books and young fiction. Her first novel for children, Wishyouwas, is the first in a duology about the hidden world of the Sorters, set in smoggy 1950s London. The story was shortlisted for the 2019 Times Chicken House prize and won the WriteMentor Children’s Novel Award in the same year. It will be published in September 2021 by Bloomsbury Children’s Books.

Alexandra's debut picture book, The Fire Fox, inspired by the Saami myth of the Northern Lights, will be published in October 2021 by the Two Hoots imprint at Macmillan.

Alexandra spent her childhood being airmailed between England and Zimbabwe and making up stories to entertain her younger sisters and brother. After studying English Literature she settled in London and worked for several years at Penguin, Puffin and Walker Books. She loves travelling to far-flung places, swimming in anything larger than a puddle, and spending time with her husband and daughter.
