Why Work With Me?
For years I’ve walked alongside others as a business manager leading marketing departments, as a volunteer career coach and youth leader, and in my younger days, as an English tutor.
Mentoring and encouragement are at the heart of who I am. Exhortation is even one of my spiritual gifts! I bring that same mix of clarity, strategy, and support to every writer I work with.
Testimonials
I was blown away by the level of detail in [Allison’s] edits. She has an incredible eye for spotting line-by-line weaknesses like passivity, filtering, and weak words. She also is passionate and talented at looking plot on a broad scale. I can tell how much she cares about this work because she has been willing to give me extra developmental edits without compensation, going above and beyond in every area. It can be difficult to strike the balance in the editor’s role, but she is always so good at clearly explaining her suggestions while still respecting the author’s vision. She has clear communication and reasonable rates. I would highly recommend her as both a developmental editor and a copy editor.
—Madeline Cliffe, YA author
“Allison is an amazing beta reader. She’s fast, accurate, points out the positive, and isn’t afraid to bring up tough topics that aren’t easy for a writer to hear, but necessary for improvement. I feel blessed that she was a beta reader for my book.”
—Shawn Jones, multi-genre author
“I needed you around in the beginning! I didn’t really have anything before this.”
—K.S., Biblical Fiction author
