SOCIAL MEDIA
I’ve also loved bringing history to audiences through sites such as TikTok and Instagram (@history_alice) which is great fun - and a brilliant way to engage people in bitesize historical delights! As of October 2023 I have 1.2 million followers on Instagram, 650k on TikTok, 120k on Threads.
WRITING
My debut non-fiction history book, UPROAR!, was released on 2nd March 2023, and it’s had a wonderful reception. It has been Longlisted for Blackwell’s Book of the Year. It was reviewed in The Times, The New Statesman, Times Literary Supplement, London Review of Books, The Spectator, BBC History Magazine, Country Life and The Mail on Sunday. I also wrote a piece which was printed in The Telegraph, and appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends and twice on Times Radio.
My second book, Eighteen, is coming out in August 2024, published by Macmillan. For writing work I’m represented by Hardman and Swainson.
I also write in the papers - reviews, comment, culture. My writing has featured in The Telegraph, The Times, The Spectator, Tatler, Country Life Magazine and BBC Music Magazine.
