Alex Winstanley is an author, teacher, and social entrepeneur from Wigan, England. My background as a teacher, as well as a carer to young disabled adults, has shaped my outlook on the inclusion of disabled people and those with long-term health conditions across society.

Through his books, Alex aims to raise awareness of a range of long-term health conditions in a positive and supportive way for children and young people.

Alex is extremely passionate about promoting a diverse and inclusive society in which every person is valued and celebrated. Each one of Alex’s books is inspired by real people as he believes there is nothing more important than giving a voice to those with lived experience
