Abbey Cleland writes fiction, TV, film, and essays. Her work’s appeared on Lifetime, Hallmark Movie Channel, and PixL networks, while she continues to write, develop, and consult for other production companies and studios. One of her romantic comedies is currently in pre-production, with plans for a theatrical release. In 2014, she completed an MFA in Fiction. Her master’s thesis, an upmarket women’s comedic novel, is being considered for publication.
Abbey’s a big believer in the power of purposeful words, as well as brunch, Belvedere Vodka, and espresso.

She's also very much looking forward to becoming a mom in July 2015. Follow Abbey on her website, as well as Facebook and Instagram.
