Hi, I'm Alisson, and I'm primarily a writer of CNF. I've taught creative writing at New York University and at Sackett Street Writers’ Workshop.

According to My Book About Me, a fill-in-the-blank autobiography by Dr. Seuss, I wanted to be 1) a hairdresser and 2) an actress when I grew up. Instead, I used my nimble hands and flair for the dramatic to become writer. My early stories were told exclusively in pictures, family sagas with detailed hairstyles and balls for hands because I couldn’t draw fingers. My next attempt at literature would take a few decades longer. In the meantime, I graduated from Northwestern University, worked as a writer/producer for the NBC News Channel in Charlotte, North Carolina, sold a movie script to MGM while earning an M.F.A. in film producing, and became a staff writer on an Aaron Spelling show before taking a long hiatus to focus on domestic pursuits. Current works-in-progress include short stories, two YA novels, and two human teenagers. I live in Pacific Palisades, California.
