Similar to Horde characters, there's a wide range of options and choices. The zones, and your play style, will depend on whether you are on a PvP or PvE server.
These are the best of the Alliance guides:
Alliance Leveling Guide 20-30
Jame's Alliance leveling Guide - Chapter I (30-41) Chapter II (41-50) Chapter III (50-60)
Basic Leveling Guide zones for grinding.

Alliance Level 6 to 12
You should be starting these levels at the Inn in Goldshire. In Goldshire, pick up the quests Rest an Relaxation, Kobold Candles, Gold Dust Exchange, A Fishy Peril and The Fargodeep Mine. Completing these will give you 2 more follow up quests.
The area around Goldshire can get pretty crowded and you may find competition for the mobs needed for the quests, especially the Kobolds. If there is already a group at the mines, ask politely if you can join them. Although this won't give you as much experience it does make completion of the quests faster and easier.
Sometimes it's easier to just grind out a couple of levels around 7 to 8. The area is thickly populated with mobs, so you can just run in any random direction, killing everything you see. Kill humanoids whenever you can and save the linen cloth they drop.
There are more quests at Stonefield farm to the south of Goldshire.
If you follow the questing sequence from Goldshire you will be around level 8 or 9 by the time you get the quest Shipment to Stormwind. This leads you to the nearest major city with an Auction House and profession trainers. Catch up on your class skills in Stormwind. Find the profession trainer for First Aid. Any guard will give you directions and a convenient marker on your mini-map. Train in first aid and use up all that linen cloth you have been saving by making bandages.
Select skinning and one of the other gathering professions (mining or herbalism) for your first 20 levels. Sell anything you gather in the AH. The gathering professions will make you enough gold for decent equipment at level 20 when it starts to make a difference.
After training, head back to Goldshire and finish any outstanding quests.
Around level 9 or 10, I usually head over the bridge into Westfall. There are two quests right on the path after you cross into the zone. These and a little grinding on the mechanicals will easily get you to level 12.

Twink or not?
Twinking in WoW is where you use items or enchants that would not normally be available to a low level character. These can enable a level 10 character to take on mobs 3 or 4 levels higher with impunity and speed up the levelling process. Obviously if this is your first character you won't have the option, since it will cost you a pile of gold.
Assuming you have some spare gold, should you bother twinking?
Although it will level you faster, I generally don't bother:
1. It take time to gather items or request enchants. You can be up a couple of levels while you hang around waiting for an enchanter.
2. It costs gold and my higher levels are stingy bastards.
3. It takes away from the sense of achievement. You may as well employ a levelling service.
Two things that you might want to consider as a partial twink are first aid skill and engineering.
Warcraft First aid is fast to level – all you need are stacks of cloth. You can get to skill 150 at level 5 without wasting much time. Just buy masses of linen, wool and silk in the AH. You can then use Heavy Silk Bandage for a near-instant heal between fights.
Engineering enables you to equip some nice items that are otherwise unavailable. This will still be a useful skill at 60. For example you can't get a head item at low levels, but if you have engineering as a profession you can use Green Tinted Goggles right from level 5. These can then be upgraded to Master Engineer's Goggles at higher skill levels. You also get to make dynamite and bombs which are useful in dealing with adds.
