Alexa Donne
I am a traditionally published author who loves to help other writers find success and avoid scams/bad publishing experiences, particularly in the trad pub space.
I am a two-time Edgar Award nominated author of YA thrillers The Bitter End, Pretty Dead Queens, and The Ivies, all of which were published by Penguin Random House. My first two books, sci-fi romance retellings set in space, Brightly Burning and The Stars We Steal, were published by HMH, now known as Clarion at Harper Collins. The process of publishing and writing most of these books is documented on this channel, which primarily exists as an archive at this point; however, whenever I level up in my craft or gain new experiences in publishing I feel compelled to share, I may make new content.
I am represented by Faye Bender at The Book Group. You can find me @alexadonne on most social media spaces.
