Alison M Thompson

Hi, I'm Alison Thompson, AKA The Proof Fairy and I am passionate about helping aspiring authors to write and publish books.

A professional proofreader and copywriter by trade, I decided to write my first book because I was frustrated that everyone around me was writing and I wasn't! "The Boy From Hell: Life with a Child with ADHD" was planned, written and published in six months and it took me on an exciting adventure. Following publication I was invited to speak at conferences for charities including ADDISS, The ADHD Foundation and Cerebra; SEN Magazine commissioned me to write three articles on ADHD; I was featured in Take a Break and Bella magazines and interviewed on local radio; and my son and I even appeared in a Channel Five documentary titled "Louis Smith: Living with ADHD", which was very exciting as the Olympic silver medallist came to our house for breakfast!

My second book, "What's Your Story? Take your non-fiction book from possibility to plan to publication... and beyond!" includes everything I have learned through ten years of working with authors.
