About Alex Moore-McGill

Alex Moore-McGill (she/they) is a longstanding BTS participant and is delighted to be joining the team as a shadow writer. She has been attending Beyond the Spectrum’s workshops for 14-17 year olds for around 5 years and, with 2026 being their first year not participating, they are excited to put everything this workshop has taught them to use to help guide the next generation of young writers. Alex’s story, Martha the Monkey, was selected for publication with One Billion Voices in 2023, and they were asked to return and support the second cohort of the project. She was also published in the 2025 Beyond the Spectrum anthology, Earthlings And Aliens, with her story Staring at the Hourglass.
