Born in London, Alderman was educated at South Hampstead High School and Lincoln College, Oxford where she read Philosophy, Politics and Economics. She then went on to study creative writing at the University of East Anglia before becoming a novelist. In 2007, The Sunday Times named her their Young Writer of the Year.
She was the lead writer for Perplex City, an Alternate reality game, at Mind Candy from 2004 through June, 2007. She has written articles for several British newspapers, and has a regular technology column in The Guardian.
In 2012 Alderman was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, England.
Her father is Geoffrey Alderman, an academic who has specialised in Anglo-Jewish history. She and her father were interviewed in The Sunday Times "Relative Values" feature on 11 February 2007.
Alderman's literary debut came in 2006 with Disobedience, a well-received (if controversial) novel about a rabbi's daughter from North London who becomes a lesbian, which won her the 2006 Orange Award for New Writers. Since its publication in the United Kingdom, it has been issued in the USA, Germany, Israel, Holland, Poland, France, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Her second novel, The Lessons, was published in 2010.
Her novel The Liars' Gospel (Viking, paperback, 272pp) was published in paperback in 2012. Reviewing the book, Jewish cultural magazine Jewish Renaissance described it as "an entertaining, engaging read" but found the story it told "uncomfortable and problematic. Your enjoyment of the novel will depend on how you respond to the premise that Jesus was, potentially, an 'inconsequential preacher'".
All three novels have been serialised on BBC Radio 4's Book at Bedtime.
She wrote the narrative for The Winter House, an online, interactive yet linear short story visualized by Jey Biddulph. The project was commissioned by Booktrust as part of the Story campaign, supported by Arts Council England.
Her Doctor Who novel Borrowed Time was published in June 2011.

It was a time of brutal tyranny and occupation. Young men and women took to the streets to protest. Dictators put them down with iron force. Rumours spread. Rebels attacked the greatest empire the world had ever known. The empire gathered its forces to make those rebels pay. And in the midst of all of that, one preacher by the name of Jesus died. And either something miraculous happened or some...

Its owner is the mercurial, charismatic Mark Winters, whose rackety trust-fund upbringing has left him as troubled and unpredictable as he is wildly ...

Что бы произошло с миром, если бы женщины вдруг стали физически сильнее мужчин? Теперь мужчины являются слабым полом. И все меняется: представления о гендере, силе, слабости, правах, обязанностях и приличиях, структура власти и геополитические расклады.
