Hi, I’m Allison Lau.
Author, editor, and former PhD behavioral scientist who once tracked monkeys, now writing essays and stories about identity, love, ambition, and reclaiming your own life.
I write my newsletter Monkey Girl—plus a serialized romcom.
Glad you’re here.
Everyone talks about making it.
Almost no one talks about staying kind while you do.
Watching someone pull that off changes your sense of the possible.
The most useful question I’ve picked up last year:
“What would a person who already made this work… do next?”
For me, that person is Amy Suto.
Her latest book Write for Money & Power comes out Jan 12th and it's a game changer.
The most devastating line I’ve written lately wasn’t loud or dramatic.
It was: “The jungle is gone.”
Some losses don’t arrive as events.
They arrive as facts.
A good sex scene isn’t about anatomy. It’s about aftermath.
Who’s braver. Who’s quieter. Who can’t go back to pretending.
