Hiya!
Iβm Abigail, an author, creative writing tutor, mentor, and Fellow with the Royal Literary Fund.
I write female-led contemporary comedy novels that are big on feelings and even bigger on laughs. My humour is often dark, but warm at its core, like an M&S melt-in-the-middle chocolate pudding.
If you'd like to chat about my writing, teaching, or speaking, have enquiries about my books, or want to chat about workshops and mentoring, drop me a message.
Abigail
