Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Alison Taylor spent 20 years working as a video editor for film and television in Toronto before moving to Fredericton, New Brunswick in 2018. Alison has continued to work for Ontario production companies since then, but would like to work on projects that are Maritimes-based. 

Alison's many editing credits include HGTV’S Home Town, Storage Wars Canada, and the Colombian-Argentinian co-production feature film El Jefe, which broke box-office records. Alison has been nominated for a CCE editing award, and projects they have edited have gone on to garner awards and nominations at festivals. 

Alison helped to produce and also served as an editing mentor on Tracey Lavigne’s film Picture Yourself, and they are the producer of Lavigne’s first feature, the queer coming-of-age drama Glitter, which was the 2022 selection by Women in Film and Television Atlantic for consideration by the national jury of the Telefilm Talent to Watch program. Alison has also made a number of experimental short films that have screened at festivals internationally.

As a writer, Alison has published short stories in Broken Pencil Magazine and Exile Literary Quarterly. Their debut novel Aftershock, published by HarperCollins Canada in 2021, received the Atlantic Book Awards First Book Award and was shortlisted for the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. Alison's second novel is working-titled Confessions of a Binge Drinker.
