“Figurative and lyrical. Surprise…and terrify.”

The New York Times

“Poignantly conjures the difficulties of reconciling the present with ‘an ungraspable history’”

The New Yorker

Hi! I’m

Abbigail

I’m a writer, mother, and cat enthusiast. Once every few months, I co-host Book Bites, a literary dinner where we eat food inspired by beloved books. I have a very Southeast Asian palate: I enjoy intense flavors like shrimp paste, lychee, durian, fermented food, salted plum beverage. One of my pleasures is cleaning the house while listening to an audio book. I’m a fairly organized Pisces—I thrive on routines. My favorite places to write are at my dining table or at a coffee shop. I write three days a week. Oh and, ghosts exist, obviously. Thank you for visiting my website!

Do you feel stuck with your writing? Uninspired? I can help!

I collaborate with writers at all stages of their manuscript.
