Allison K.
Top Rated Screenwriter, Book Editor & Writer
Hi, I'm Allison! 👋 I'm a published writer, story expert, and former Hollywood development executive with a deep background in film, TV, and documentary. I can get your screenplay ready for industry eyes and create your pitch deck. 🎥 My other passion is books! As a professional book editor at Luminary Publishing House, I work across fiction, nonfiction, and YA. I know story inside and out, and love helping authors with their manuscripts, whether that's as broad as helping you solve a tricky plot hole or as focused as finding the best use for commas in a certain paragraph. You already did the hard work of putting your creativity on the page -- let me help you shape it into the best version of itself! ✏️ My background in writing and entertainment also makes me an expert in copywriting and narrative writing of all kinds, from social posts to ghostwriting. 📖 If you need: - Insightful developmental editing (big picture) for your manuscript - Expert copy editing or line editing (small picture) for your manuscript - Thorough proofreading (grammar nerd to the rescue!) for your manuscript - Beta reading for your manuscript - A professional script doctor's eyes on your screenplay - An undeniable pitch deck/pitch materials for your creative project - Tailored copy for your website, newsletter, or social media - A compelling narrative ghostwritten in any medium I'd love to jump in and help! 📚 It all starts on the page! I'm an award-winning screenwriter, six-time novelist, and published fiction writer and essayist. My work can be found in Maudlin House, Every Day Fiction, Herstry, DuFrank Lit, The Barley Field, and Switchboard Magazine. 🏆 My scripts have placed in multiple screenwriting competitions, including the Austin Film Festival competition and the Screencraft Feature Competition. ✨ Words are magic: let's make yours sing!
