Hello! I’m Ali Luke, and Aliventures is my blog (and newsletter) all about how to make the most of your writing time.

My husband and I live in Leeds with our 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son. Alongside my freelance writing, I write blog posts, non-fiction ebooks, and fiction: keep reading for more on all of those.

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 making the most of your writing time, whatever kind of writing you do, and whatever stage you’re at with your writing.

You’ll find specific tips and techniques in posts like The Four Essential Stages of Writing and more motivational content in posts like Eight Secrets Which Writers Won’t Tell You.

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 writing, and how to make the most of your writing time. 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.
