Alison Stegert
Author of Historical Fiction
based in QLD
Alison D. Stegert has worked as an innovative school counsellor, a bumbling waitress, and an intrepid camp counsellor, but writing kids’ books is her dream-come-true job.
Her latest book, Her Majesty’s League of Remarkable Young Ladies, was published in the UK in July 2023 and released in Australia by Scholastic in 2024. The book is the result of Alison’s 2021 win of the prestigious international competition The Times | Chicken House | IET 150 Prize. She also writes picture books.
Ali’s love of languages, early travel adventures, and keen interest in fairy tales, archetypes, and personality theory weave through her writing. She draws on her graduate training in applied psychology to create intriguing characters whose strengths, flaws, and interesting triggers ring true-to-life.
Ali is the state director of the Queensland branch of SCBWI Australia East and the chief scribe at the Sunny Coast Writers’ Roundtable. She’s represented by PFD Literary Agency, London.
