About Kara Alloway
After graduating from McGill University, I began my career in Los Angeles at Allure, where I worked under founding editor Linda Wells as Assistant West Coast Editor. My early work focused on fashion and beauty through a journalistic lens, pairing cultural curiosity with rigorous reporting and a clear point of view.
I later returned to Canada to become Editor-in-Chief of Ingenue magazine, where the publication experienced record circulation growth within the Canadian teen market. Alongside my editorial work, I hosted a daily fashion and beauty radio show, interviewing industry leaders including Stella McCartney, Laura Mercier, Phoebe Philo, Zac Posen, Diane von Fürstenberg, Bob Mackie, and Oscar de la Renta.
My on-camera experience includes appearing on The Real Housewives of Toronto and, more recently, competing on The Traitors: Canada Season 3. These experiences deepened my understanding of unscripted storytelling, both in front of and behind the camera, and sharpened my interest in how narrative, performance, and public perception intersect.
Following my work on camera, I moved into unscripted development and production, signing with Electus in Los Angeles and later joining Hanger 56 Media, where I worked in executive production.
My debut novel, MOST HATED, draws from these intersecting worlds of media, performance, and public judgment, marking a shift toward long-form, character-driven storytelling.
Across platforms, my work reflects a sustained interest in how stories are shaped, controlled, and contested, particularly for women navigating highly visible public spaces.
- Outside of my writing and media work, I’ve been deeply involved in hands-on humanitarian projects with my children, including clean water initiatives and community health programs in Central America and Africa.
