Writing Her Own Story - Ashley Audrain, Author

The literary world erupted for author Ashley Audrain’s The Push as it set records and became one of the most anticipated releases for 2021.  And, although it may appear to be an "overnight success" as a  New York Times, Sunday Times and #1 international bestseller, including appearances on Good Morning America, the real story is actually the making of the story, and the making of a brilliant writer…one small step at a time.  

Ashely has always been a lover of writing, and after studying media, followed by a career in PR, she found herself happily working inhouse for Penguin Publishing.  Unforeseen circumstances arose with the birth of her first child, dramatically altering her path.  A constant throughout her life, Ashley found solace in the written word…this time it was her own.

It is extremely rare to achieve the type of success that Ashely has, especially in the literary world.  This conversation covers so many important topics, not just professionally but personally as well.  Ashley has quietly worked on her craft for years, sometimes not even realizing where a particular decision would take her but finding a thrill in the uncomfortable spaces she knew were inching her forward.  Ashley is dedicated to her craft, follows what she believes in and, lucky for us, continues to write her own story.
