Raised by a musician and activist in the yuppie college town of Chapel Hill (which she has never left), Allison Stalberg is a Fiction MFA student attending Southern New Hampshire University. As an asexual, neurodivergent woman, Allison writes stories that inspire rebellion, independent thinking, and radical love.
In addition to being a fiction writer, Allison also worked in journalism for seven years and currently conducts interviews with authors for Knee Brace Press, an online literary magazine dedicated to chronic illness, disability, mental health, and neurodivergence.
Currently, Allison is querying her first novella, Adelina and the Bug Parties, a whimsical fantasy story that takes place in the world of bugs and fairies. In it, a fairy and moth crash different parties to make the most of their time together, from termite queen birthdays to spider funerals.
When she’s not writing, Allison can be found snuggling her foster cats, making her way through her massive to be read pile, and mourning the death of various video game characters (RIP Arthur Morgan).
