Hi, I'm Charles Andrew.
I'm a WGAe screenwriter, an awesome-AF dad, and an award-winning content developer. I love to read and write fun, frantic escapism in the form of gritty crime thrillers, broad popcorn comedies, and high-concept sci-fi and fantasy.
I've written or co-written 2 feature screenplays, 4 pilots, 9 episodes, and a graphic novel. I've hitchiked in Australia. I've driven across the country in a 20-year-old Volvo with only a dog and a guitar. I've arm-wrestled a nun, and I'm pretty sure she let me win.
