Cozy nights. Hidden magic. Emotional rollercoasters
Hi, I'm Alexis David — a writer of cozy chaos and quiet intensity. I write stories for the young adult who stays up late wondering who they are, for the dreamer who believes there's magic hiding in the unremarkable.
My work spans young adult, coming-of-age, thrillers, and LGBTQ+ fiction. I’m drawn to characters who are figuring things out — imperfectly, beautifully, and often while holding onto secrets.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me thrifting, playing with my cat, or learning weird facts at 2 a.m. I believe in softness, indestructible friendships, and characters who break your heart just a little.
