Sergeant Sharon D. Allen is a soldier in the United States Army Reserve, who wrote a prominent blog about her service in Iraq. Allen's blog was entitled "100 things I learned in Iraq". Allen was a contributor to the Operation Homecoming book. Four of Allen's essays were republished in Powder: Writing by Women in the Ranks, from Vietnam to Iraq.

Allen published several columns in mainstream newspapers while still in uniform.

Allen was one of the characters in the play "Letters Home", a play based on letters from GIs at the front.

In 2010 the New Jersey Medical School's Center for Humanism and Medicine selected Allen's essay "Lost in Translation", as part of its program of readings to aid medical professionals to perceive health care from the patient's perspective.
