Alex Grantham – Writer

About my work

I write both fiction and non-fiction, and believe deeply in storytelling as a tool for reflection, healing and change.

Alongside Floodlight, I am developing a second novel and a growing collection of short stories. The second follows a bold female lead whose ability to draw attention unexpectedly leads her to help find people who have gone missing.

Community radio has always been my passion, and you can tune in to Make Change Happen to hear real people share their real experiences of change and what they learnt.

I bring deep experience in creating safe, trauma-aware and strength-based group spaces where creativity can unfold without pressure or judgement. I am a trainer for Lifeline and Gender and Disaster Australia, and I work in disability inclusion and neurodiversity. My facilitation style is warm, grounded and supportive, offering participants a space where their voices and stories are genuinely welcomed.

With a background in social work and education, my writing and facilitation are grounded in listening, empathy and lived experience. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their creative voice and tell stories that matter. Alongside my writing, I offer counselling, supervision and resilience work through Tom’s Place.
