I’ve reported for decades across the country, from small Midwestern courthouses to New York City mayoral press conferences. Being able to understand unique parts of the country helps me bring a wide lens to every story.
I also write newsletters, white papers, case studies, features stories and annual reports for major corporations and institutions.
I specialize in profiles, subject matter expert interviews and higher education writing, from renowned researchers to a student interview about why they love a college. If you need a profile on a quick deadline, a complicated research study simplified or anything else you hope to translate, I’m here to help. My clients include the University of Chicago, Duke University and the University of Michigan.
“What is this special quality that makes me look forward to editing Alison’s work? It’s her ability to humanize every story she writes. She gives voice to people who we don’t normally hear from, and finds the unique in the everyday. She captures the most relatable, stirring and emotional angles in every story she pursues. Whether she’s writing about religion, health, immigration or something totally different, Alison’s stories are people stories.”
— Saleema Syed, editor at the Chicago Tribune
“Alison Bowen is a talented writer who helped produce our landmark global insights report in record time at the highest quality. She organized expert interviews in less than a month, delivering against challenging deadlines and across shifting narratives. The final report was lyrical and a joy to read, showcasing her strong storytelling skillset that brought life to our B2B marketing materials. I’d hire her again in an instant.”
