Allison Lawlor

No one said learning to write as a journalist was easy—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you are struggling to structure a breaking news story, wrestling with punctuation or staring at a blank page, I’m here to help.

Throughout the school year, I provide free, one-on-one writing guidance tailored for students in the BJH, BJ, and MJ programs. Because I don’t grade your assignments our sessions are pressure-free. My goal is to help you make your print, broadcast or online storytelling clearer, stronger and more engaging.

About Me

I am a King’s graduate who started as a newspaper reporter in Ontario before spending the last two decades working as a freelance writer and published nonfiction author. I have spent several years as a writing coach, and I recently completed my MFA in Creative Nonfiction at King’s. I know what your professors are looking for, and I know how to help you deliver it.
