Meet Alison

Alison Jones is founder of Practical Inspiration Publishing, host of The Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast and community, and Judge at the Business Book Awards. A veteran of the publishing industry, she worked for 25 years with leading companies such as Chambers, Oxford University Press and Palgrave Macmillan. She has written and edited several books, including This Book Means Business: Clever ways to plan and write a book that works harder for your business (2018) and Exploratory Writing: Everyday magic for life and work (2022).

Don't just take our word for it... 

Alison's courses are a must for anyone looking to write a non-fiction book... The programs are a wise investment, and I can't recommend them and Alison enough!
ANETA ARDELIAN KUZMA, PROPOSAL CHALLENGE AND BOOTCAMP GRADUATE
Your professionalism, delivered with enthusiasm and care for each author, has been vast. You’ve created a very safe and amazingly structured process to support people through an incredible journey. Your constant encouragement and personal feedback has been invaluable. Thank you.
— Lesley Roberts
An exercise in going from "average" to "great". Before working with Alison, I knew that what I had just wasn't enough, but I didn't know why. But the last two weeks have blown my mind: now I have a book proposal that is built on a solid foundation... It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alison.
— Trevor O'Hara
For anyone thinking of writing a business book, I cannot recommend Alison Jones and Practical Inspiration Publishing highly enough... Without the programme and follow up support, I still would still be 'talking' about the book as opposed to working on the final draft for publishing.
— Brian Cavanagh
