Hi! I’m Allison, a writer and editor based in Memphis, Tennessee. I have experience with all stages of writing, editing, and publishing.
I know it can be hard to share your writing with someone, so why should you choose me?
I’ve written two flash fiction chapbooks, an information library science book, and four books for Scholastic. I’ve been published in anthologies and in print and online journals. I also regularly review books for MicroLit Almanac. You can find links to my publications on my personal writing site, AllisonRennerWrites.
I am also currently:
- CNF Editor and co-founder of Forget Cool 2026+
- Short Story/Flash Fiction reader at Split/Lip Press 2026+
- Senior Editor at Intrepidus Ink 2022+
- Contest Editor at Flash Fiction Magazine 2021+
And previously:
- Fiction Editor at Just Place (now defunct) 2022-2023
- Fiction Chapbook Contest reader at Split/Lip Press 2022
- Novel/Novella reader at Split/Lip Press 2020
I’ve also worked as both a public and school librarian, a Makerspace teacher, an email marketer, a writing center tutor, and a creative writing club leader.
I see stories in everything, and love helping people refine theirs and put them out into the world. I’d love to help you polish your flash fiction, short stories, or manuscripts.
If you’re not a writer but also love telling stories, I can help you put your idea into words. As an editor and ghostwriter, I’m equipped to help you every step of the way.
