Testimonials
“Allison's knowledge of story structure and her keen sense of pacing helped me break my struggling manuscript down to its bones and rebuild it into the best possible version of itself. Her insight, encouragement, and excitement provided a much-needed boost to get my novel polished and ready for readers. I couldn't be prouder of the result.”
— SHELLY CAMPBELL, author of The Marked Son series
“Allison was my editor during the 2025 Revise and Resubmit contest. She is such a lovely person to work with, and really did a great job of breaking down the novel with what limited time she had to work with it. It's never easy analyzing your novel from a critical standpoint, but Allison asked the right questions that really forced me to see my novel without author blinders. She did a great job of breaking down the parts that need improvement while also spotlighting the parts that make the novel great.
"The advice she gave me goes well beyond this story, and I will carry it into all of my future projects. I 100% recommend her to all of my fellow authors, especially if you're a life-long pantser like myself. Thanks again for all your hard work, Allison!”

She is transparent, easy to work with and, in my experience, she gets things done well ahead of schedule.”
