Hello

I'm Alison Bacon

Central Ilinois

Yearbook Representative

My Story

Yearbooks are more than just books, they’re a time capsule for the impactful moments of the year. As a former staff member and photo editor for the award-winning Howelltonian yearbook, I understand their importance. The experience and passion I bring mean you will receive detail-oriented support and guidance, allowing you and your staff to focus on your vision, goals and legacy. I look forward to cultivating a relationship that thrives through open and clear communication, working toward a common goal and creating a yearbook that truly reflects the school year. Let’s have a conversation about how Walsworth and I are here to help!

“Alison became my representative when my assigned rep went on maternity leave. She made a point to personally visit the school to meet with me. When I email her about anything, I receive a quick response. I also asked Alison to proofread my book before I submitted it, and she went through each page and gave me helpful notes and suggestions. This was extremely helpful.  She goes out of her way to help, and it is greatly appreciated.”
– LeAnn Postin, Cuba Sr High School 

“There’s been a noticeable improvement in our yearbook program since we started working with Alison. I know I can go to her for help on design, staff management, or book production and get a practical answer that makes sense for my students and my school. Our yearbook class was a bit of a mess after a couple years of the pandemic; Alison helped me refocus on what is important and jump started our publication back into action. I feel like a trusted partner when she comes to work with us.”
– Andrew Crivilare, Griggsville-Perry High School

Hear What More People Are Saying About Alison

"I am writing to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for Alison Bacon, our Walsworth representative. I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Alison for the previous 3 years. Over the years that I have known and worked with her, she has always been the embodiment of integrity, hard work, dedication to her customers as well as her company, and she holds a vast knowledge of everything yearbook! Alison has been an absolute wealth of information from the smallest details leading up into the larger concepts of themes, artistic style, vision and function. Each and every time I have needed assistance, and there have been plenty of those times, she has been readily available to assist me with my problem or question and quickly helps me find the answer or solution. Simply put, I would have been absolutely lost without Alison's guidance, support and experience. I truly have come to think of her as much more than our school's yearbook adviser and Walsworth rep. Alison Bacon is now a friend and I know that there are many other school's that view her in this same light. Alison is a treasure and I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to work with her."

"It has been amazing to work with Alison. This is my first year with Yearbook responsibilities and Alison has been extremely helpful and insightful. She has been encouraging and understanding as I figure my way through this important mainstay of high school culture. Alison is quick to respond to any issues that I am having. I would recommend Alison as a rep to any other yearbook adviser because she will help make your yearbook something to remember."

- Steve Long, Altamont High School

"I have been extremely pleased with the responsiveness of our Walsworth representative, Alison Bacon. She is always quick to respond to my emails. She has been easy to reach by phone when I've needed to do so. She has been knowledgeable of the products and has been able to answer our questions quickly, and when she didn't know off hand she has been quick to get the information to us. I highly recommend Alison to help with the process of developing a yearbook with Walsworth. Her help has been extremely valuable to us."
