“Allison is AMAZING! I knew from the first class with Allison that she was special. She has such amazing insight and wisdom -- and she helps you figure out the hardest thing of all: how to trust yourself. She's an incredible teacher -- and strikes that fine balance of being encouraging while also providing really helpful guidance and feedback. This is rare -- and something that I really value (especially as a fragile writer). She is so much more than a teacher (who shares 'how they do things,'), as she helped me discover myself as a writer: my voice, my process, what works best for me. I call her my writing therapist, and I always look forward to talking to her.”
–Heather
“Allison is a great teacher and mentor, she is constantly thinking about how to motivate and encourage her fellow writers to push through our resistance ... but do it on the page. She is always available to support the creative cause with a smart writing prompt and some juicy craft elements to noodle on. My writing has improved as a result of working with Allison.”
–Christine
“For years, I have been writing myself in circles with vague goals of one day publishing a memoir. Allison has helped my work slowly take shape and excise this story that has been existing inside of me for too long. Deciding to work with her has truly made all the difference.”
