Abby McDonald was born and raised in Sussex, England and studied Politics and Philosophy at Oxford University. She began writing at college, becoming music editor of the student newspaper and completing her first manuscript at nineteen. After deciding that the ‘real world’ of nine-to-five would interrupt her busy schedule of napping and watching teen DVD box-sets, Abigail graduated to writing full-time. Since then, her work has appeared in the NME, CosmoGirl and Plan B magazines. Her debut novel will be published by Candlewick Press (US) and Walker Books (UK) in Spring 2009.

She just moved to Montreal, where she is eating her way around the city. And adjusting to writing about herself in the third person.
