Alexis Tapp, Author
The Jackowhisp Series Of Childrens Story Books
A passion for writing has always been with Alexis, and she finally found her niche as an author of story books for kids after taking a course in Children’s Writing with the Australian College of Journalism.

At the moment Alexis is writing an adventure novel for young teens which should be finished in 2010, and is completing a Masters in Writing with Swinburne University. She resigned from full time employment in 2007 to pursue her love of studying and writing.
Alexis also wanted to set up her own publishing company to publish her work. She has succeeded in that venture and now teaches other authors how to publish their writing.
Alexis lives with her family in a suburb east of Melbourne, Australia.
