I’m Alexandra Amor and I coach and support cult survivors who want to tell their stories in writing. I am an award-winning memoirist about ten years I spent in a cult in the 1990s. Each week I host the Creative Alchemy podcast where I interview cult survivors and others who have navigated difficult experiences about how artistic expression has aided their healing and recovery.

I have been featured in a course about cults called Warping Reality and have been a guest on a number of podcasts about cults including How We Escaped and Project Hope. I have been a guest speaker to university classes that are studying cults. I was the featured subject of an audio documentary called Cultivated.

I am also The Self-Publishing Coach, assisting authors to publish their books without running into scams and hassles.

I am a proud member of the Writers’ Union of Canada, a Partner member at the Alliance of Independent Authors, and a member of the International Cultic Studies Association.

I live on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In my spare time I serve on the board of two local charities: the Pacific Rim Hospice Association and Island Queers and Allies Who Care. If I’m not working, writing or reading you’ll likely find me walking on a local beach or worrying that the vacuum cleaner feels ignored.
