I love supporting creators and journalists to achieve their vision. You can hire me as a story development consultant to help you: 

• refine and develop your podcast concept
• prepare a stellar pitch deck 
• understand the full process of creating a podcast and create a production plan that fits your goals, budget, background, etc 

I'm an experienced story editor -- in other words, I can help you transform your crappy first draft into a polished, cohesive, engaging final piece. Here's what people have to say about working with me:

​"Allison has an impeccable attention to detail. She is thorough, a great communicator and gently provides constructive criticism. Working with her has not only enhanced my editorial skills but also improved my interviewing style. Many listeners consider my conversation with Claudette Johnson, which Allison edited and advised on, to be my strongest episode" -- Siima Itabaaza, Kutimba With Siima 

"My experience working with Allison was outstanding from start to finish. As a first-time audio producer, I wasn’t sure how to “think like a journalist” or organize my production process. With this in mind, Allison organized each of our meetings into progressive focus sessions highlighting one critical aspect of storytelling or production (I.e., interviewing, story editing + tools, production timelines, trailer restructuring, etc.) to advance to the next stage. Her feedback is clear and insightful, and always includes effective suggestions for improvement. In addition to being a thoughtful and down-to-earth media professional, Allison is generous with her time, resources, and knowledge, and I felt much better equipped to tackle my project after our sessions. I would collaborate with her again and again and recommend Allison without hesitation to anyone seeking an exceptional story development consultant." -- Tanya Latortue, Of Black Wombhood
