Alison Sloan lives in Waco, Texas with her husband and two kids. She worked as a public school teacher for seven years, then left public school education and developed her own writing curriculum in 2020, which she has since taught independently online to students worldwide; she even taught her illustrator!

While teaching from home, Alison began pursuing her other passions of writing and editing. Since 2022, she has taken on several editing projects, helping first-time authors get their books ready for publication. She became a published author in 2024 with her first children's book, Dilly-Dally Allie. From this book, Alison developed other characters with unique struggles who learn the value of being themselves while growing to be better. Social-emotional learning is a key concept in her classroom and in her books as she seeks to educate the next generation of writers and readers. 
Alison enjoys traveling and having fun with family and friends, but would ideally love being alone in a clean house binge-watching reruns of Parks & Rec or Abbott Elementary. Her primary love language is sending memes. She is known for being a Dilly-Dally Allie, and she married a Never-Late Nate. Follow her journey on Instagram: @alisonsloanwriting
