ABOUT ME
WHO AM I?
I am the internationally published, best-selling author of eight middle grade. novels, two non-fiction books, two ghostwritten books and countless feature articles and blog posts published actress print and online publications.
I have worked as a features writer, copywriter, social media manager, editor, sub-editor, and more.
For seven years I co-hosted the So You Want To Be A Writer podcast, interviewing authors across all genres, and now co-host the Your Kids’ Next Read podcase. I’ve always asked the questions to bring you the most useful and practical information I can find.
I teach creative writing for kids, teens and adults, as well as other courses, at the Australian Writers’ Centre, and regularly speak in schools and at literary festivals for adults and children.
My book So You Want To Be A Writer, co-written with Valerie Khoo, is an indie-published Amazon bestseller covering from how to decide what kind of writer you want to be, to how to promote your book once it’s published.
I’m immersed daily in the writing and publishing industry in general, and the children’s publishing industry specifically.
In short, I have experience and knowledge across all areas of writing and publishing, podcasting, speaking, social media, blogging and more.

#WRITEABOOKWITHAL CHALLENGE

TESTIMONIALS
“I joined ‘Write With Allison Tait’ because I was feeling a little lost writing the first draft of my first novel. I had zero confidence in my ability to finish what I started.
Allison has helped me turn that around in just a few weeks. In the last week alone I’ve added 3500 words to my manuscript and gained both confidence and momentum in my writing.
I could not have achieved this on my own and I would highly recommend Allison to all writers, no matter where they are in their journey to publication.”
—Fiona Taylor, WWAT member
“WWAT is about connection with the writing community, access to industry insider interviews and support in real time.
Al is a fantastic mentor, generous and genuine with both her time and advice.”
—Alison Richards, WWAT member
“Since joining this group I’ve been more inspired and better at just sitting down and smashing out a para.”
—Taryn, WWAT member
“Writing can be such a solitary pursuit, which is why being a part of a group is so important.
“Joining WWAT has helped me feel part of a community of like-minded people and motivated me to get the words down.
“Al offers so much industry knowledge and advice and it’s great to bounce things off Al and other group members. 100% worth the investment if you are serious about writing.”
