YOUR GO-TO GUIDE FOR

Writing stories that move people

Steady guidance for writers and nonprofit teams

You may have great ideas, but if you don’t have someone to implement them, there is only so much you can do. When you hire an editor or outsource your communications, you gift yourself a guide who can develop your stories and convey your vision. Whether writing newsletters for nonprofits or guiding authors with their books, I don't just edit—I collaborate.

You've come to the right place if you crave ample, relevant feedback from an editor who cares. To begin, explore my services to see if one of my packages is exactly what you need.

  • "Allie stepped in and provided direct feedback on a project that really needed strong help with tightening the plot. Her feedback was always thoughtful and kind, but she was very clear with both what needed to happen, and why it was important. Allie is a true treasure to work with!"
