Words are the fuel that keeps me steady, moments of quiet we can share.
In Confessions & Coffee, I give you everything I can to take a coffee break in your wild, wonderful life.
We stop to smell the roses for a few moments—in the hurly burly of modern life, I’ll give you time to press pause, writing secrets and little life lists.
Together.
My name is Alice Kuipers, but you can call me Ali. I’m a writer, mother and dog-lover supplanted twenty years ago to the Canadian prairies from England.
I’ve published fourteen books (HarperCollins, Chronicle, McMillan, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers etc, in 36 countries). I’ve worked as a ghost, and I’ve taught writing all over the world. Now, I work for The Novelry as a writing coach, helping authors who are ready to write a full book—it’s fabulous.
Family life as the mom of four children is chaos. We added my mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s. Over twenty years, I’ve learned to take a pause by reading. And writing. Slowing down together.
This publication is my gift for you because I know what it’s like to need space and time. Reader or writer (maybe both), I love that you’re here.

xoxo
Alice
