About Abigail Anklam

Abigail writes books for young readers.

​

Growing up, she loved reading about fantastic adventures in incredible places and longed to have adventures of her own, just like Lucy in Narnia, Mowgli in the Jungle, or White Fang in the Arctic. So it's no wonder that she left her Virginia home to find adventure in faraway places, like Arkansas, Italy, Arizona, & China.

​

During her adventures, Abigail has filled many roles. She has been a student, an actor, a zookeeper, an artist, a teacher, a bookseller, an archer, and more! She loves to learn new skills, visit new places, and try new things. Along the way, she has experienced different ways of life, met all kinds of wonderful people, and learned about all sorts of fascinating animals. Many of those experiences and interests have found their way into her writing and art.

​

Right now, Abigail is busy taking care of her newborn son, illustrating a picture book called The Christmas Cat, and working to publish her first children's novel (which involves a bear, an animal trainer, and an escape from the circus).
