Hi guys! My name is Abbie Smith and I am new to The Quack, so I wanted to make a quick post to introduce myself to you lovely readers!
I am a second year Creative Writing student at Edge Hill University and writing is my passion. My favourite things currently to write are poetry (mainly lovey-dovey, angsty poems) and non-fiction articles/reviews. I am also the non-fiction editor for a magazine as part of one of my modules, so I have some experience in this field. You can find me on Instagram @abbiesmithwrites!
Also, I have co-written on short films and scripts for university and outside projects, something I enjoy doing. I also have a part-time job which I enjoy and it keeps me busy at weekends, so I can’t complain!
People would describe me as quite shy until you get to know me. Then, once I am comfortable, I have been told that I am caring, sometimes unintentionally funny and very opinionated. If something bothers me or someone I love, you are going to hear about it!! Also, I do not stop talking about things I enjoy.
As well as this, I am an avid reader. My bookcase is stacked full of books, either ones I have read or ones that are on my ever-growing To Be Read list. My favourite genres are crime/thriller and contemporary, so I enjoy a range of different authors and stories. My current top 3 books are ‘An Unwanted Guest’ by Shari Lapena, or ‘They Both Die at the End’ by Adam Silvera, and ‘Swimming in the Dark’ by Tomasz Jedrowski. I thoroughly recommend those amazing works of fiction to anyone who is even remotely interested in reading. They are wonderful!

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I love football. I support my local team and I used to go matches often before lockdown, and I hope to go again in the future! I love watching both club and country! I also love going to the gym with my family- I know, bizarre bonding activity-, spending time with my family and friends, and listening to music.
Thank you for reading, and thank you to the team for letting me join. I can’t wait to get started!
