- STAN GWIZDAK, CEO & BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Alison is marvelously adept at gently guiding her authors, asking intelligent, investigative questions while deeply listening to their answers - not just what they say, but how they say it - and then capturing that unique cadence and style on the page while weaving in her own art of clean, clear, engaging writing.

Before I became a full-time ghostwriter, I worked as a communications manager in the pharmaceutical field. I still focus on healthcare, having ghostwritten for physicians, patient advocates, and pharma execs. Beyond healthcare, my clients have ranged from defense innovation contractors to professional stylists and social media mavens. Whatever the field, I enjoy working with creatives and innovators—people with bold visions to share
My clients use their books to to build brands, generate leads, and secure speaking jobs. A book can also be adapted for a podcast, blog, or course. There are many ways to make a book work for you. It all starts with a great story—and I'm here to help you tell it.
