I've been commissioning work from Alex Carlton for decades. Why? Because I know she'll do a great job, writing to brief, to budget, to length and to deadline, every time. She's collaborative, responsive, and intelligent; there are very few freelance writers in Australia that I'd recommend so readily. And even after all these years, she has never lost the freshness, the insight and the wit that impressed me the first time we worked together. Dare I say it, she's even gotten better.
Obviously she has a way with words but Alex's great strength is that she captures the magical moments of travel and makes them come alive for the reader.
A regular contributor to Escape, Alex tackles the realities of travel in a thought-provoking and entertaining way. Her gifted story telling enlightens and inspires our readers whether it be the rules of plane etiquette or a review of a luxury resort in Thailand.
Meanwhile, on Instagram.
