Andrea is a multi award-winning speculative fiction writer and an educator born to Caribbean Windrush generation parents, based in the Southeast and London.

Her writing centres marginalised voices, examining themes of decolonisation, identity and belonging, and is driven by her core belief that, as Maya Angelou said, “Human beings are more alike than unalike”.

She is currently on submission with her New Adult/ crossover manuscript, Deity of a Drowning Realm, a multi-viewpoint cli-fi fantasy inspired by African-Caribbean mythology and history.

Andrea was a finalist at Brighton Book Festival’s Emerging Authors Showcase in 2025, and in 2024, the manuscript won First Runner-Up in the Mo Siewcharran Prize and Second Place Text for the FAB Prize. In 2023 she won the Jericho Writers Self Edit Bursary. 

Andrea is supported the the Arts Council England via a DYCP research and development grant to hone her development as an author grounded in the African Diasporan experience. Using this to receive mentorship from an Afrocentric cosmology researcher and filmaker and a Caribbean folklorist. She is also developing ideas for a sequel.

When not writing, Andrea enjoys beach walks, travelling and world cuisine.
