Collabor(h)ate by Deb Mashek
​
**Business Book Awards 2024 Finalist**
Collaboration is so much a part of the modern workplace, but people are never trained in how to do it! This books shows exactly how to do it and do it well! Deb wrote of my work with her:
​
First, thank you SO much for your incredibly helpful developmental edit of Collabor(h)ate. I was blown away by the generosity and wisdom of every single suggestion. What a gift to have this thing I care about benefit from your expertise and grace. Seriously, I cannot remember the last time I felt such partnership and support in working through something I wrote. You’re my new favorite security blanket 😊 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Collabor(h)ate by Deb Mashek was published by Practical Inspiration Publishing in January 2023.
PUBLISHED AND FORTHCOMING – AS COPY-EDITOR
Coping: A Philosophical Guide by Luc Bovens
It was a joy to work on this book. Luc said:
​
I had the good fortune to work with Alison Gray for my book Coping: A Philosophical Guide that is coming out with Open Book Publishers. Alison’s comments were superb. She made helpful suggestions when a passage was unclear, improved my prose, checked sources, corrected quotations, and raised concerns about copyright issues. She has a keen sense for the English language, and her suggestions really made the book so much better. I was able to follow up on some issues with her and again she was super-helpful. And she is a pleasure to work with. She is clearly the best editor whom I have worked with in my career.

I ALSO COPY-EDIT THE FOLLOWING JOURNALS.
