London-based journalist and writer Abbey Stirling is the editor of the capital's culture webzine The London Word and quarterly glossy West End Review.

She can invariably be found trawling the chewing-gum infested streets of London, lurking beneath the darkness of many a Soho screening room, scrutinising the capital's culinary haunts and penning film, fashion, theatre, art, music, health, restaurant and travel reviews for the web and print, including Central Life, The Local magazine, entertainmentwise.com and viewlondon.co.uk.

She is currently composing her first novel The Nemesis.
