Hi, My name is Allison Fallon. I’m the founder of Find Your Voice, an award-winning author, and an expert publishing coach
When I started my writing career over a decade ago now, I had no idea what I was doing, no experience in publishing, and no one to guide me along the way. I swore to myself that if I was ever able to publish my book, I’d find a way to turn around and help others.
13 books (and counting) later, here I am.
What I wish I knew back then is how important it is to start the writing process with a strong outline. I was so anxious to get started writing my book, I figured I’d skip the outline and save myself some time.
Unfortunately, that approach backfired.
Instead of saving me time, skipping the outline ended up costing me years of time
Not only that but the finished product was not what I had hoped. It sold okay in the marketplace but it wasn’t what I knew I could create.
Over the years, I’ve worked with writers from total beginners to New York Times bestselling authors. I’ve learned that most of us are tempted to do the same thing I did back then: skip the outline. I’ve also learned that no matter who you are, skipping the outline is a bad decision that will cost you years of time, not to mention the enjoyment of writing a book that you know lives up to your vision.
That’s why, these days I focus all of my coaching on helping authors write strong book outlines. Once you’ve done that, anything is possible.
What publishing coaching looks like:
90 days of focused one-on-one coaching includes:
An intro call (45 min)
to kick off your 90 days. This call is designed to get to know you a bit, familiarize you with the materials and give you a sense of direction with your assignments.
A step-by-step workbook (6 weeks)
with exercises and prompts that will guide you through the process of unpacking your book. You’ll be shocked to find you have more to say than you think!
A series of short videos (3-5 min each)
that answer common questions and guide you toward organizing your thoughts into a cohesive outline.
A full day with your coach (8 hours)
to turn your book idea into a robust outline. No more guessing or wondering. I’m here to guide you.
An aftercare plan (delivered after your outline day)
a personalized plan your coach writes for you with specific action steps you can take to reach your publishing goals.
Open access to your coach (6 weeks)
to help you put together your book proposal document, find an agent, create a writing schedule or whatever else you need to reach your publishing goals.

“Throughout this process, Ally’s guidance has been invaluable. I am particularly grateful for the way she has broken down an overwhelming project into clear and manageable steps- something that has been incredibly difficult to figure out on my own (and until now, left me at a standstill). As a PhD candidate whose practice relies heavily on writing, we are not taught how to write or engage in a regular practice; Ally’s course has begun to fill in this gap for me, providing tangible and realistic writing tips to implement, a structure to work from, and a like-minded community. Thank you, Ally!”

Over the course of three months, your coach will work with you virtually to strengthen your story and complete your book.
The “prepare to publish” part of our program is helping you create what agents really want: a book proposal document. You also need a plan. You’ll leave the program with a path forward and everything in place for you to finish your book in a matter of weeks.
We designed the two months after your book outlining day for you to complete your publishing map. You have access to your coach and receive week-by-week video guides and instructions to get you to the finish line. In a wrap-up call, your coach will assess your publishing map and give you the feedback you need to take your next publishing steps.
