Hi — I’m Alli!

I live in Philadelphia, by way of Brooklyn and Washington, D.C. I love reading, fitness, rainbow sprinkles, bright lipstick, watching embarrassing television, laughing at my own jokes, and girl chats with my straight-talking friends. After five years surrounded by books working in a dream corporate publishing job, I left in September 2016 to pursue my first love: writing.

My work has appeared in Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Insider, Medium, HelloGiggles, The Kitchn, New York Post, Bustle, Brit + Co, Racked, Ravishly, and more. I also work closely with several brands and businesses on managing their blog and web content, and partner with first-time authors on developing their manuscripts.

I’m also the creator and host of the bookish, feminist-y, nostalgic SSR Podcast, which ran from 2018 to 2025. In April 2025, I launched Is This A Thing? with my friend Abby Wolfe—and we’re having the best time.

I earned my MFA in Fiction from Temple University in May 2022 and have taught writing at a few Philadelphia colleges. These days, I facilitate and teach virtual workshops through my Pen Pals program.

I am represented by Claire Friedman at InkWell Management. My debut novel TOO BLESSED TO STRESS hits shelves in March 2026 from Grand Central Publishing, followed by PEOPLE, PLEASE in May 2027.
