Allison Fallon

Allison Fallon is an American author, writing coach and speaker who teaches that writing is a tool for discovering and healing oneself. Her book The Power of Writing It Down shows readers how a simple daily writing practice can clarify thoughts, process emotions and change behaviour.

A founder of the writing programme at a major creative-culture company and a mentor to thousands of writers, Fallon has written novels and manuals for the trade. Her work stands between the fields of expressive writing and productivity, encouraging people who think they "can't write" to treat the page as medicine.
