Hello! I’m Ali Luke, and Aliventures is my blog (and newsletter) about all aspects of fiction writing.

My husband and I live in Leeds with our 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.

I love writing, but I also love working with writers to help them see their stories through to “The End”. I offer:

One-to-one coaching: I can work with you through monthly or weekly calls, or even exclusively by email if you prefer that.

Writers’ Cafe: My friendly, supportive writers’ community includes live writing hours, weekly check-ins, writing prompts, and much more.

Paid resources: Take a look at the Aliventures shop for low-cost resources to help you go further, faster with your writing.

Freebies: Join the Aliventures newsletter to get free ebooks, writing prompts, an editing checklist, plus weekly writing tips.

What’s Aliventures About?

The Aliventures blog is all about writing fiction, and whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been writing for years, there’s plenty here for you.

The blog covers detailed, practical storytelling advice in posts like Three Act Story Structure (Including the Seven Key Plot Points Your Novel Needs) and Mastering Third Person Limited Point of View: Four Options and Four Examples. You’ll also find more motivational content in posts like What is Writers’ Block? The Myth, the Reality, and How to Overcome It.

As well as writing here on Aliventures, I’ve written for lots of popular blogs like Copyblogger, The Write Life, Write to Done, The Creative Penn, Craft Your Content, ProBlogger and Daily Blog Tips. I’ve also written for Writers’ Forum magazine and had short stories published by Writing Magazine.

One of the biggest questions that crops up when I’m working with writers is “How do I find more time for my writing?” If that’s something you’re struggling with, I’ve got a free ebook to help you make time to write: you can find out about it here.

I publish a new post on Thursdays most weeks on Aliventures, looking at different aspects of fiction writing. I’m always very open to topic suggestions: if there’s a particular question you’d like answered, or a post you’d love me to write, just get in touch.
