Author Information

Alison Young is a veteran journalist who has worked as a reporter and editor for national and regional news organizations, including USA Today, the Detroit Free Press and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. While in Atlanta, Young covered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Her work has revealed safety lapses at biological research labs, food manufacturers and nursing homes; hazards in municipal water systems and near forgotten lead factories; and the role of substandard hospital care in maternal deaths. Young's investigative reporting on science and health issues has received dozens of journalism awards, including three National Press Club Awards, three Scripps Howard Awards, three Gerald Loeb Awards, the Hillman Prize, a Sigma Delta Chi Award, and an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award. Her work has also been honored by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Young is a past president of Investigative Reporters and Editors, an international journalism training organization. In 2019, she joined the faculty of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where she helps train the next generation of journalists in the school's Washington, D.C., program. As a former international 747 pilot for Delta Airlines, Capt. Pamela Almand's smooth, low-pitched voice from the flight deck calmed and reassured her passengers and crew through routine flights as well as emergencies. Now, with over a decade of professional award-winning SAG/AFTRA voice acting experience with Audie Award nominations, AudioFile Earphones Awards, and Voice Arts Awards and numerous nominations, her voice has not only enthusiastic professionalism and authority in nonfiction titles, but also conversational and compelling story-telling warmth and depth for multiple accents, genders, and ages in fiction titles. Medical, business, and technical nonfiction titles come naturally, the result not only of growing up the daughter of a Colorado cattle rancher and moving into a highly technical aviation career, but also aided by naturally clear diction and a neutral English, easy-to-understand style. Pamela is continuously honing her skills and has coached with Scott Brick, Paul Ruben, Carol Monda, Johnny Heller, Patrick Fraley and others and is an Audible Approved Producer. Pam works from her professional recording studio for clients all over the world, including Tantor, Blackstone Publishing, Brilliance Audio, Vibrance Press, Oasis Publishing, World Wide AudioBooks, Verity Publishing, Two Words Publishing, Suspense Publishing, Author's Republic, and ACX.
