My Old Suite101 Profile

 I have been using The Wayback Machine to find my old articles, and it has my Suite101 profile from 2010!  A lot has changed since then; I no longer teach middle school, Suite101 is gone, and I write sitting next to a dog instead of two cats.  Also, there is another writer named Alex Sharp and an actor, so I have switched to Ally, which is the nickname I use more frequently anyway.  
​
Right now these links go to the Wayback Machine.   I am even going to frame it in Suite101 green.

Alex Sharp

Feature Writer - Audiobooks/Ebooks

Alex teeters on the brink of gadgaholism, which explains how she reads daily without risking paper cuts. When she isn't reading ebooks, Kindle books, book apps, and Google books, she is listening to audiobooks, podcasts, streaming audio, and goofing around with Apples's enhanced editions. She writes about her experiences with words beyond print at eBibliotopia.
When her gadgets are charging, Alex is teaching, writing, editing Project Gutenberg books to convert into future ebooks, experimenting with theater, and making short films for a small circle of artists.
In addition to her current position as Feature Writer for Audiobooks/Ebooks, Alex has earned twelve Editor's Choice Awards for :

• an article credit cards and teens,
• an article about parents finding common ground with their teenage daughters,
• The Man Who Outshone the Sun King book review,
• an article about online health, fitness, and diet tools for healthy teens,
• a summary of games of websites for kids who like to build,
• Wolf Hall book review,
• an app review of Youversion
• a comparative review of Audible versus Itunes,
• an explanation of how to change Google's wallpaper,
• instructions on how to remove targeted behavior ads,
• a review of three free ebooks for poems about children, and
• an overview of portraits of Saint Sir Thomas More. There is a corresponding article about Thomas More in literature.

Alex was the Featured Writer for Parenting Teens from October 2008-January 2009 and the Featured Writer for Gifted Education from January 2009 until May 2010. She writes about Gifted and Talented Education, Gifted Children, and Gifted and Talented Education Resources at Think Gifted.
She is still teaching and parenting, and when the children aren't keeping her busy, she is blogging on Suite 101.
