Alexia Casale is a British-American author, writing consultant and teacher. After an MA in Social & Political Sciences (Psychology major) then MPhil in Educational Psychology & Technology, both at Cambridge University, she took a break from academia and moved to New York. There she worked on a Tony-award-winning Broadway show before returning to England to complete a PhD and teaching qualification. In between, she worked as a West End script-critic, box-office manager for a music festival and executive editor of a human rights journal. She’s not sure which side of the family her dyslexia comes from, but is resigned to the fact that madness runs in both.
