Abby McDonald
Abby McDonald is an entertainment critic and novelist from Sussex, England. She studied at Oxford University, graduating in 2006 with a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics and the foolish desire to be a full-time writer. Luckily, she sold her first novel Sophomore Switch (Walker, 2009) for teen readers less than a year later. Her work has been published by the NME, CosmoGirl and Plan B magazines, while her website, PopText, was noted by the Times as one of the best British music blogs.
Her adult debut The Popularity Rules is published by Arrow (2009), and is based on her adventures in music journalism in London and New York. Do YOU know the popularity rules of life? Join the discussion!
