Ann Dowsett Johnson, author of the bestselling book Drink, shares her testimonial:
“As a bestselling author, I was stuck on my second book and found Alison’s program helped me get unstuck, inspired and motivated. Her presence is refreshing, and always welcome. She has a droll sense of humor, a true appreciation of humanity, and she is unfailingly wise about the challenges—and gifts—of the writing journey.”
