I host The Extraordinary Business Book Club (www.extraordinarybusinessbooks.com), a podcast and community for writers and readers of extraordinary business books, and have written and edited several books, including This Book Means Business: Clever ways to plan and write a book that works harder for your business (Practical Inspiration Publishing, 2018) and Exploratory Writing: Everyday magic for life and work (2022). ...more

Quotes by Alison Jones (?)

“Once we begin to explore this much wider and deeper world, we realize how much we’ve been missing. It’s as though we’ve been living and working in a corridor without even realizing there are windows and doors on either side. More than that: writing enables us to open the window blinds, undo the catches, lean out and look, smell, hear, touch, taste adventure. We can climb out of those windows. Writing can give us the keys to open those doors: explore what’s on the other side.”
― Alison Jones, Exploratory Writing: Everyday magic for life and work
