ALESSANDRA SPAULDING
FANTASY AUTHOR
Alessandra has always been passionate about language and words. She grew up devouring fantasy books and doodling maps in her journals when she was supposed to be playing outside. Now, she writes stories about snarky heroines, cruel gods, and a whole lot of dark, crazy chaos. When she isn’t torturing her characters on page, she works as a speech pathologist helping children become confident communicators. She lives near Boston, MA with her husband and three little gremlins (yes, she fed them after midnight).
DIVINE CARNAGE
COMPLETED
Humans can’t kill a God.
But Snow Walker did.
An analyst who thrives behind computer screens, Snow finds herself thrust into a deadly competition where she must hide her own mortality as she strives to do the impossible again.
OF SALT & SUFFERING
IN PROGRESS
Princess Zefira Lucrezia Caterina Moretti di Napoli is cursed with a lethal siren song.
And she revels in it.
But when she’s forced to wed and her throne and magic are taken from her, she must claw her way through Napoli’s drowned underworld with nothing but a curse she can’t reclaim—and the fear that without it, she’s no one at all.
MY STORY
I have always been a writer, from an early age crafting notebooks of unfinished stories, lots of angsty teenage poetry, and some pretty nice hand-drawn maps.
I attended undergrad at Princeton University where I studied religion and linguistics, both of which have found a place in my novels. I live outside of Boston with my husband, three kids, and three cats --two feral chaos monsters and one grumpy fluff ball.
I am represented by Grace Demyan at Harvey Klinger Literary Agency, and I'm currently working on more unhinged dark fantasy stories for readers to enjoy.
Fantasy is, and always will be, my first love. A very small subset of my favorite books include SABRIEL (Garth Nix), BROKEN EARTH TRILOGY (N.K. Jemisin), GIDEON THE NINTH (Tamysn Muir), MISTBORN (Brandon Sanderson), and VICIOUS (V.E. Schwab).
You can find me on Instagram, Threads, and X.
