- 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.

Biography

Your Book Partner

Hi, I'm Alison! A ghostwriter with over 10 years of experience, I've had 16 books published, including 2 Amazon bestsellers. I've written for names like Forbes Books, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, and ABC News, among others.

 

I hold a Bachelor's in English from McGill University, a Master's in Comparative Literature from the Freie Uni in Berlin, and a Professional Writing Certificate from Georgetown University. You can view my full education and professional history on my C.V.


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.​​

Due to the private nature of my work, I can share only select samples online. Luckily, I also do other types of writing, which I am allowed to share! Some authors I've worked with have also generously acknowledged our collaboration, for which I'm deeply grateful.  Please contact me for additional samples.

  • Karmic Selling: Earning Business by Earning TrustStan Gwizdak's bestselling business book earned bestseller status in three Amazon categories, garnered a Reader's Favorite five-star accolade, and been named an Editor's Pick in BookLife by Publishers Weekly.

  • The Bizzics Way: Powering Your Small Business to Maximum Momentum: Author Chip Higgins kindly acknowledged me as his writing partner in this innovative book, where he applies the the principles of physics to drive small business success. The book has 4.6 stars on Amazon, 4.4 stars on Goodreads, and was chosen for a BookBub feature!

  • Let's Clear the Air: 10 Reasons Not to Start Smoking: Technically, this is the first ghostwriting project I ever did. I was an editorial intern at a children's book publisher (many years ago) and given the task of interviewing kids about why they would never smoke and then getting their thoughts on the page. Fun fact: Supermodel Christy Turlington wrote the book's foreword!

  • Germany's Older Generations Take Up Graffiti: This feature article for Spiegel International is a nod back to my journalism days, where I got my start as a writer!

  • Short-form business writing: In addition to books, I also write (and ghostwrite) short-form content, like blogs. View my contributor profiles for publications like U.S. News & World Report and USA Today SMB Blue Print .

  • A Royal Match: I also write fiction, sometimes under my own name, sometimes as a ghost. This interactive fiction story for Tales, a serialized fiction platform, is one of my favorites.
