A passionate advocate for her authors, she is an omnivorous reader with a particular interest in literary fiction and narrative nonfiction. She finds it difficult to resist a beautifully written cookbook or a future classic for children. Above all, she is drawn to distinctive voices with an underlying intelligence, a precise eye for detail, and a sense of curiosity.

Previously, Alexandra was Rights Director at Giramondo Publishing Company and Editor of HEAT, Australia’s international literary magazine; she is now on the magazine's editorial advisory board. She has also held positions at Pan Macmillan Australia and Allen & Unwin. A graduate of the University of Sydney, she has presented at the University of New South Wales, the Faber Academy, Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University, the University of Florida and The Wheeler Centre.
