Maile Allen discovered her love for stories as a young child between the pages of a large variety of books she acquired at local bookstores and libraries. Writing quickly became her way of making sense of the world, and she cannot remember a time where she was not absorbing stories and making up her own. She considers storytelling humankind’s greatest accomplishment, followed closely by the invention of the hoodie. She is Team Oxford Comma for life.
A Type-A ambivert who aspires to be Type-B, she doubts she could ever live without her cherished checklists but finds herself daydreaming sunup to sundown. She is often described as a social butterfly with a tendency to talk a lot, but if you feed her (she’s not picky!), she will be quiet and tuck into the deliciousness.
Maile holds a Bachelor of Arts in Film from Eastern Washington University. She currently works in marketing and freelances as a copywriter.
A lifelong Washingtonian, Maile currently resides in Tacoma with her husband, daughters, cats, and a plague of stick bugs. She dreams of living in a cabin on an isolated mountain lake someday.
Oh yeah – it’s pronounced, “Molly.” Maile’s mom found the name in a fictional book she was reading. Her dad simply rolled with it. And that environment – a home with parents who both had and allowed space for imagination – is what Maile attributes her creativity to.
Well, that, and being repeatedly exposed to Fawlty Towers as a young child.
