Aliventures Break (While Ali Has a Baby!)
As you can probably tell from the photo above, I’ll be having a baby soon (due date is 21st February). This is our first child; my husband and I are very much looking forward to welcoming her into the world.
So I can concentrate on being a mum, I won’t be publishing any updates on the Aliventures blog, or sending out the Aliventures newsletter, from now (January 24th) until late April.
Don’t Miss Out Once I’m Back!
To make sure you’re the first to know once I’m back at my desk, pop your email address in below to receive my blog posts straight to your inbox.

Hello, Ali!
I was missing your newsletters, so I decided to pass by and see what was going on… And I remembered that your baby is coming! Congratulations, again. I read now your text “What it Feels Like When Your Writing is Rejected – and How to Bounce Back”, a very cool piece (and I left my comments there…:)
I hope you’re fine and wish you luck in this new adventure! Things will be just fine, I’m sure…:)
All best,
from your Brazilian friend,
