Hi. I’m Allison.
I’ve been a reader for as long as I can remember. I started reading when I was three, and I never really stopped. I love all genres, but fantasy has always had my heart. There’s something about imagined worlds that reveal real truths about love, courage, morality, and what it means to be human. Storytelling has always mattered to me, long before I realized I’d build a life around it.
Before editing, before writing professionally, I was a dancer. I trained and worked as a professional ballet dancer, later becoming a yoga instructor. Movement taught me discipline, precision, flow, and presence, skills that influence how I approach the page. I’m also an artist, and I’ve always been drawn to creative expression in all its forms.
I’ve traveled to fifteen countries and love immersing myself in other cultures, listening, observing, and learning how people tell their stories in different ways. For me, storytelling is how we make sense of the world, of each other, of ourselves.
I hold a master’s degree in philosophy, and for twelve years I worked in corporate healthcare, writing and editing in a world that was structured and increasingly suffocating. Eventually, the safety and paycheck didn’t outweigh the emptiness my soul felt. So I left.
Going freelance changed everything.
Now, I work with authors who are brave enough to tell the stories that matter to them, even when the process is messy, vulnerable, and often overwhelming. I get to help authors dive deep into their emotions and find their voices. I truly love what I do, and I don’t take that lightly.
My editing style is direct and candid but always thoughtful. I’ll identify solutions for narrative weaknesses and challenges, explain the “why,” and help you see your story more clearly. I’m your partner through the highs and lows of the creative process, here to help you become the strongest author you can be.
We’ll work well together if you’re open-minded, flexible, curious, and willing to celebrate the little bit of weird that lives in all of us. If you care about the human experience and what makes people think, act, love, fear, and change.
I live in Colorado with my husband, Tyler, and our German Shepherd mix, Breaker, and my horse, Thyme. I love reading (obviously), exploring, hiking, horseback riding, dirt biking, paintball, wine, and pottery. And I’m fully solar powered. If it’s sunny, you’ll probably find me working outside. I see magic everywhere, and I believe the universe puts us exactly where we’re meant to be, right when we’re ready.
This season of my life is about connection. My focus is on working with authors, helping them find their voices, and creating a community that loves a good story and the freedom to create on your own terms.
Thanks for finding your way here.
If something about my vibe resonates and you’re working on an idea or a manuscript, reach out. I’m always happy to talk stories and see how I might support your process.
Cheers,
Allison
