Sex clubs.

Mothers-in-law.

Bulk mayonnaise.

​

These are just some of the prolific subjects Allison has covered in her journalism and personal essays, which have published in top-tier and major outlets from The New York Times and Washington Post to Cosmopolitan and ELLE, Refinery29, CNN, Buzzfeed, Bust, Bustle, and many more. Common themes across her work include queer identity, gender, love and sex, motherhood, and coming of age.

​

She is actively seeking representation and a home for her first book, Urban Inbreeding, about sex, drugs, and parents who are cousins. A taste of her coming of age story was covered in Curbed.
