ILLUMINATION Writers
Interview with Alison Tennent
Featuring creative writers of ILLUMINATION
In this story, I share with you an interview that I conducted with Besom & Bletherskite (pen name). I met Alison when she joined ILLUMINATION.
It was a serendipitous encounter because we both live in the same country (but in different states), and we met on Medium.
Alison is not only a creative writer but also actively engages and supports other writers on ILLUMINATION. In addition, Alison is one of our editors who spends a considerable amount of time editing and publishing stories on ILLUMINATION.
