Allison Merkle
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Literature (concentration in Creative Writing) from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. In the years since, I have refined my strong writing and editing abilities, as well as my well-honed interpersonal skills. I have worked in many sectors, including nonprofit, civic, education, history, museum, and retail, where I also developed customer service and training skills.
Whether it comes to drafting compositions or editing someone else’s, my philosophy is the same: employing clarity and simplicity in one’s writing will help to shape it to be not only effective, but also beautiful.
Years in the field: 18
Years freelancing: 18
