Alison Waller

I am a writer who loves to help people find and tell their stories. I have a background in research and teaching, having worked in higher education for 15 years. I run projects that are all about listening and connecting to human narratives: these have included facilitating young adult reading groups, interviewing adults about their memories of childhood books, co-creating life stories with individuals living with dementia, and opening up conversations about end of life with diverse communites. I'm an avid everyday walker, finding inspiration in my local landscape and pleasure in walking with other writers. Most of all, I like to hang out with my two cats, who are heros of an unpublished book, The Adventures of Borage and Marlow, despite rarely leaving the sofa.​
