ceci n’est pas un newsletter
Maybe you’ve got ideas pouring out of everywhere.
Years of journals, writing, branding, drawings, post-its, comics, visions.
You name it.
What you’d really love is to get out of your noggin and into the world.
You could start with a newsletter, but ugh a newsletter. Sounds so dry and square. And, to top it off, you have no news.
But what if it lit you up like the buzz after your morning coffee?
No one needs to know what you ate for breakfast. Even you don’t care what you ate for breakfast.
It could be bold, whimsical, cinematic, magical.
Knocking socks off good.
After all, why would you want to end up in the trash?
When it’s good they talk..
When you're stuck and overthinking your message, Alana cuts right through to the core idea, creating a valve to the gist of it. She elevates communities and synthesizes your branding, your mission and it's a huge relief to let her take your raw or over complicated ideas and just run with it.

When I collaborated with Alana the story that emerged thrilled me and was so true to my vision of my brand.
I got very high open rates. I was getting responses from people saying things like, "This made my day I can't wait for more, it's gonna be the first thing I open when I get up tomorrow. This is so much fun, I'm sending it to friends".
Amy Walsh, Bureau of Tactical Imagination
Alana patiently helped me unwind my gnarly thoughts, and make order out of the chaos. It was the first time I was able to express in writing what I dearly wanted to say. Without her kind and thoughtful guidance, this wouldn't have been possible. As an editor, she cut through and pulled out the essence. I’m so grateful for all of this.

Alana is why I have a newsletter. She guided me past my self-doubt to find my voice. Then she honed my message until it shone. Her skills and experience have enabled me to write more than a newsletter—it’s a pledge to my readers. I’d work with Alana again anytime.”
Chris Sellers, Hectic Electron
Alana is my best kept secret in the internet. Her cinematic eye helps me keep the magic in the visions - which is so key. She is super practical - important decisions and synthesis gets DONE. I can’t explain how much of a relief this is, to be free of the burden of the spinning in circles!
