Dawn Allcot

Dawn Allcot is a full-time freelance writer and former magazine editor who has managed five magazines, redesigned three, and launched one. Her writing adventures have taken her through Jiu Jitsu classes, ropes courses, and fire walks, but she doesn’t hold to the adage that writers should write what they know. Today, she works from her Long Island, NY, home, creating content for business owners in industries ranging from insurance to audiovisual technology. Some of her niche markets include personal finance, luxury home products, and parenting.

She loves mentoring and inspiring new writers through her Contena posts and in various online groups. As the mom of two, Dawn stays active in her children’s lives, serving on the school PTA board and playing taxi between dance, martial arts classes, and Cub Scouts. When she’s not writing, shopping, or perfecting the art of being a middle-aged suburban mom, Dawn enjoys traveling with her family and dreaming about her next Disney World vacation.
