Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano in Edinburgh, Scotland. Hello from the top!

Hi! I’m Alison.

I am a niche-resistant wordsmith bent on honest work with a positive attitude.

I help businesses, public & governmental organizations, and individuals craft written content that captures the personality and spirit of their mission and brand. I also love editing projects, including business documents, manuals, workbooks, book-length manuscripts, theses, and dissertations.

I am a born-and-raised Washingtonian and have lived in Olympia since 2012. I am happy to work with clients from absolutely anywhere.
