Local author shares advice with aspiring writers
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Local author Abigail Perry-England joined Daybreak to discuss her debut novel, “Escaping You,” and to share some tips for the aspiring writers in your life.
Perrey-England’s novel released last year is targeted at new adults, particularly those aged 18 to 30, and explores themes that resonate most in that age group.
“I always tell people it’s a new adult novel,” she explained, noting that the book covers some heavier topics suited for readers in their late teens to early thirties. Perrey-England shared that her inspiration for the novel came from a “crazy dream” she had, where an old friend kidnapped her.
Perrey-England emphasized the importance of dedicating time to writing, advising aspiring authors to set aside even just 30 minutes a day to write or research. If that’s a little too much for your writers block, “just write a page and see where it lands you,” Perrey-England said.
Abigail also mentioned the supportive community of authors on TikTok, which she finds inspiring and helpful for writers looking to start their own projects.
Abigail Perry England’s journey to publishing her first novel highlights the dedication and creativity required to bring a life-long dream to life.
