Allison Griner
Journalist and Editor
Hello! I’m a journalist-for-hire currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
You can find my stories in The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Scalawag Magazine, the Washington Post, the Toronto Star, the Florida Times-Union, Esquire, the Columbia Journalism Review, Living On Earth, The Tyee, CBC Radio, Megaphone Magazine, Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting and PRX, and more.
My passion is narrative nonfiction, and I’m drawn to stories that explore identity and reveal the unexpected — the threads of passion, resistance and idealism that unite us all.
Please feel free to reach out and connect!
