Seizing the Opportunity: Allison Spooner Becomes an Opportunity Arts Affiliate.

Allison Spooner is an accomplished writer and author from Lansing, MI. Allison specializes in flash fiction (stories told in less than 1,000 words) and bringing worlds, characters, and stories to life in as few words as possible and has two collections featuring these types of stories; Flash in the Dark: A Collection of Flash Fiction, and The Problem With Humans: And Other Stories), both available on Amazon. 

You can also find her work in:
Future Visions: Volume 2 
Cafe Macabre: A Collection of Horror Stories & Art by Women

Allison has integrated writing in almost every aspect of her life, from work, to fun, and even in her sleep, as many of her story ideas come from her dreams.

Beyond writing her own words, Allison is passionate about helping others find their words and connect with their muse and gives workshops and presentations on using flash fiction to break through writer’s block, writing through grief and trauma, and using yoga to feel more creative. She is an avid yogi and believes yoga can help anyone unlock their creative potential...so much so, she wrote a book about it called, “Boom, Shaka Chakra: Using Yoga to Become a More Creative You.” She is passionate about combining yoga and creativity and helping those struggling with addiction use yoga as a tool to stay sober. 

She is also the Director of Content and Marketing for The Artist’s Umbrella, a group of creatives putting on monthly variety shows to shine the spotlight on the amazing talent here in Lansing. If she has any free time, Allison spends her time deepening her yoga practice, watching movies, reading, spending time with her family, or trying to get some sleep in.
