Neil Alexander

Neil Alexander is an author, teacher and journalist, whose writing has featured in The Independent, Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail. His debut novel, ‘The Vanishing of Margaret Small’, an Amazon Top 5 bestseller, was inspired by the voices of people with a learning disability, and the incredibly moving first person accounts of living in long stay institutions, which he heard while working for the UK charity Mencap.

Neil, who has a Masters degree in English Literature from the University of Kent at Canterbury, began his career working in health journalism. Originally from Northern Ireland, he now lives in the seaside town of Whitstable in Kent. His second novel will publish in September 2024.
