Alex Peart-Johnson, a seasoned storyteller, serves as the Creative Director and Head Ghostwriter at The Stardust Experience, the UK’s leading children’s ghostwriting service. 

Alex’s journey began with a passion for the work of Roald Dahl, having read every Dahl book multiple times by the time he was ten. Alex was also obsessed with sketch comedy and sitcoms and initially trained to be an actor.

It was from here that his career took a side-step and he spent over ten years writing scripts & music for theatre productions, films and musicals at a children’s theatre company. 

When that chapter came to a close, Alex and his wife, Zoe, co-founded The Stardust Experience — an innovative writing service catering to individuals with brilliant children’s book ideas but lacking the expertise to bring them to life.

Recognizing the distinction between having a great idea and crafting a compelling book, Alex and his team have successfully ghostwritten over 2,000 projects.

Specialising in silly, fast-moving stories, Alex embraces a style that injects a bit of anarchy into modern storytelling. He also has ADHD — which he credits for his need to keep stories moving quickly and imaginatively.

Alex lives just outside of Birmingham, England, with his wife, son, seven cats, five (or six) fish and a silly little pug called Mrs Hudson.
