Alice Boér-Endacott is a Melbourne-based author whose published works include seven fantasy titles.

With an academic background in Anthropology, French, Executive Management, and Islamic Politics (four fields that aren’t necessarily considered natural combinations), and nearly a decade of work in and around high schools teaching and tutoring English, Creative Writing, and Debating (three areas that are often considered reasonably natural combinations), she finds writing the way to combine and express the myriad of thoughts and ideas circling around her head.

When she isn’t writing, she’s either thinking about writing, or eating, and very occasionally performing the role of Secretary for LoveOzYA (an organisation that seeks to champion Australian Young Adult literature).

She is a cat person, travel lover, and adorer of chocolate and wine.

Alice on Mirror, Mirror…

“Stories are the way by which we navigate life. From the profound – our place within the world, to the mundane – something humorous across our day, stories are the medium by which we understand, relate, and relay virtually everything. Mirror, Mirror seeks to explore how and why we tell the stories that we do, and how they are intrinsically tied up with our understandings of ourselves and the world around us.”

  • “Reading was not just something I learned to do. It was something I learned I could not live without.” - A B Endacott

  • “Stories are powerful things. Books are powerful things. This is why people burn and ban them… books and stories contain ideas, and ideas are bulletproof.” - A B Endacott

  • “A deep-dive into storytelling that takes the reader on a journey that is both insightful and profound. The literary equivalent of sitting down with a good friend and a cup of tea to unravel the world’s mysteries. Often humorous and never didactic, Mirror, Mirror deftly stitches a tapestry of anthropology, literary theory and philosophy to explore the nature of storytelling.” - Lili Wilkinson, author of The Erasure Initiative

  • “Storytelling is the foundation of everything; of history and humanity - but being so all-encompassing is really overwhelming, and it's hard to solidify distinct ideas about its function and importance. Enter Mirror, Mirror by A B Endacott; a beautiful explainer of this fundamental that connects all of us. This should be studied in schools, writing classes, by book-clubs and the curious among us!” - Danielle Binks, literary agent and author of The Monsters of Her Age

  • “Mirror, Mirror is a captivating deep-dive into the art of storytelling. Essential reading for writers and booklovers alike.” - Tobias Madden, author of Anything But Fine
