Co-writing and creative collaboration

ARC has ample experience working with authors from the initial concept to develop a complete, polished manuscript. Alison herself has specific skills working behind-the-scenes in a one-on-one capacity to help authors make a seamless transition from idea or rough draft to publisher-ready manuscript. Her talents include:

  • organizational help, to create a strong outline
  • developmental editing
  • intensive interviewing in order to create new or expanded sections or chapters
  • helping to rewrite and/or finesse translations or works by authors for whom English is a second language

Alison has experience co-writing memoirs, historical non-fiction, children’s books, personal essays, conference papers, and law school entrance essays. Her clients have self-published memoirs, published short nonfiction in magazines, produced detailed family histories, and more.
