Hello! I am Seattle-based writer, book hoarder, editor, and copywriter. What the heck is a ‘lifestyle writer’? I know, I know, my website is out of date. I just got my MFA at Bennington Writing Seminars so I’m still deciding what kind of writer I want to be when I grow up. Lifestyle is just a catch-all term to let you know I can be your girl when it comes to all-things travel/outdoors, style, parenting, the arts, education and foodie things too. My work has appeared in Far & Wide, Ploughshares, SELF, The New York Times, Redbook, HuffPo Living, Marie Claire, Working Mother, Fodor’s Travel Guides, NBC, ParentMap, and The Seattle Times. My background includes brand strategy, marketing, nonprofit and corporate communications, ad copy, promotions, and social media. Feel free to connect with me via Linkedin; I can also be reached at allison.e.ellis(at)gmail.com.
