Hello, my name is Alexandra English.

I am the copy director & features editor at the relaunched ELLE Australia.

I am also a freelance writer and subeditor, specialising in print publications that focus on art, culture, wellness, luxury fashion, beauty, travel and long-form essays.

I have been on the launch and relaunch teams for T Australia: The New York Times Style Magazine, Harper’s BAZAAR Australia/New Zealand and ELLE Australia in print.

I also write digital and commercial/advertorial copy for a range of publications and brands, as well as website copy and business awards submissions.
