Allison Fraclose has been writing for children for the past 25 years, ever since she took a chance on a creative writing class in college. She has a B.A. in Creative Writing, Fiction, and debates daily whether she should go back for that M.F.A. She writes primarily Middle Grade fiction, sometimes in verse, but also dabbles in Poetry and Picture Books. She’s been a member of SCBWI on and off since 2004, and serves as the volunteer co-coordinator for the "Ask Us Anything" Arizona mingles.
