Allison Alexander is an editor, writer, artist, gamer, and chronic illness mage (she doesn't have the HP to be a warrior). From her home on Hoth, a.k.a. Canada, she builds fantasy worlds with a keyboard and a drawing tablet. She makes up for the shocking absence of cats and coffee in her life by spending time with her supportive partner and drinking tea. From her experience as a science fiction and fantasy editor, she shares insights about publishing and writing in her newsletter, and she loves helping authors hone their stories. You can find her playing D&D, chasing otter penguins off the Normandy, or co-hosting The Worldbuilder's Tavern, a podcast for speculative fiction writers.
