Abbi Waxman is a well-known author of women's fiction novels, born in England to two copywriter parents. Her father left the family when she was young, and her mother, who was left to raise the children on her own, became a successful crime fiction writer. Waxman's mother encouraged her and her sister Emily to read extensively from their home library and the city library, sparking a love for literature that would later lead to Waxman's own career in writing.
Waxman's career in writing began in advertising, where she worked as a copywriter and creative director for various leading agencies in New York and London. She had a diverse range of clients, from traditional corporations like Mercedes Benz and Unilever to more controversial companies such as Enron and R.J. Reynolds. After working as a ghostwriter for Nicole Ritchie, Waxman left advertising to pursue a career in writing fiction, screenplays, and TV shows. Her debut novel, "The Garden of Small Beginnings," was published in 2017 to critical acclaim. Waxman currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, three children, and a menagerie of pets, including six chickens, two mice, a gecko, three cats, and three dogs.
In addition to her love of writing, Waxman is also a chocolate and dog lover who enjoys lying down whenever possible. She is known for her contemporary romance novels that often contain a touch of humor. Waxman is passionate about her work and enjoys connecting with her readers, often offering personalized, signed bookplates to those who email her with their name and address.
