An award-winning writer, editor, and designer, Allyson Longueira has worked in fiction and nonfiction in multiple media, including newspapers, magazines, and books, for more than twenty years. These days, she employs her skills as a developmental editor, line editor, copyeditor, proofreader, cover and interior designer, and publishing consultant for authors of both fiction and nonfiction through her company, Long Alley Press. And as associate director of the Publishing Concentration at Western Colorado University’s Graduate Program in Creative Writing, she uses that knowledge to educate and inspire the next generation of publishers, writers, editors and designers. Allyson is a passionate advocate for preserving author voice while editing, and she teaches editors to embrace that same passion and skill through craft talks, conference lectures, and graduate-level classes. She has designed hundreds of book covers and interiors for fiction and nonfiction titles, and she has a deep and unrelenting love for typography. In fact, she could talk about her favorite, and not-so-favorite, fonts all day long. To learn more about Western’s Publishing MA program, contact her at alongueira@western.edu.
