- Bio
- I've worked as a nonfiction book editor, web editor, magazine writer and copywriter.
I've put my scant published work on this website: www.kirstenalexander.com. I'm currently writing a book about meat. It might take a while - we vegetarians have notoriously low energy levels. That's okay because my research has led me to meet a scarily smart naturopath and an amusing GP, and to learn that there is a meat recipe called Bacon Explosion.

Newspapers have been important in my life so it's been a heavy and significant decision to stop buying them.
As a child and teenager, I lived with parents for whom reading the daily paper was as much a part of the morning routine as black coffee, short showers, and yelling… Read full post »

As I write, the death toll from the weekend fires is 130. That… Read full post »
Yesterday, about 10 minutes' away from my home, a man threw his four-year-old daughter off one of the highest bridges in the city.
