I’m Alison, the host of Storytelling Saga, the podcast that shares stories, which I launched in September 2018. I discuss the art of storytelling from my favorite TV shows, books, movies and much more. I also share my own original short stories and interview special guests in creative fields.
I’m currently pursuing a career in writing for television, specifically half-hour comedy. I’ve taken courses and writing workshops taught by Jacob Krueger, Jerry Perzigian, Jen Grisanti, Ron Marz and Brent Forrester. I’m also a member of Storyteller Academy founded by Arree Chung, where I’ve joined a community of children’s book authors and illustrators with the goal of getting published and growing my author brand.
I’ve written many original half-hour comedy pilots and spec scripts. My Modern Family spec script placed as a quarter-finalist in the 2015 Big Break Contest and the 2015 Scriptapalooza Television Writing Competition, and my BoJack Horseman spec script placed as a quarter-finalist in the 2017 Scriptapalooza Television Writing Competition. I also received an honorable mention for a Creative Writing Award for my one-act play called The Things We Learned in Detention. My pilot, Good or Bad, placed as a quarter-finalist in the 2022 Big Break Contest and ranked in the top 22% of discoverable projects on Coverfly.
I love the power of storytelling and how it connects us all. I hope you’ll enjoy this podcasting journey with me and that Storytelling Saga will inspire you to share your own stories with the world.
As always, write what you love. ❤
