Alex English

I'm Alex English, an internationally published author of action-packed adventures including 'Stop That Dinosaur' and 'Sky Pirates'.

My exploits on the page have led to a Dundee Picture Book Award nomination, selection by BookTrust as part of their Bookstart Corner programme and by The Reading Agency for the Summer Reading Challenge. Sky Pirates is an Amazon teachers’ pick.

I’m currently writing a new sci-fi novel for kids as well as developing several screenwriting projects, including a feature adaptation of Sky Pirates.

I’m represented by Thérèse Coen at Susanna Lea Associates.
