Abigail Wild, MFA

Abigail Wild dwells inside of her own dreams, where creativity thrives. After twenty years as a graphic designer, all the stories she held captured in her mind clamored to be set free. She put down her tablet and picked up the pen. She went back to school, earning an MFA in creative writing, and began her new life’s work: writing the stories of her heart. Today, Abigail is a novelist, writing coach, editor, competition judge, and writing teacher. She particularly enjoys working with emergent writers, often giving them the same pep talks she received years ago. She lives in central Pennsylvania with her husband, three children, and three budgies. The budgies, named Pablo, Prissy, and Lily, tend to make a racket while Abigail is trying to write, but she is not deterred!
