Hi! I’m Andrea Blythe—an author, poet, and game writer. I am the author of three poetry chapbooks, the most recent being Twelve: Poems Inspired by the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale (Interstellar Flight Press, 2020) — with a fourth collection of poetry on the way later this year. My poems, fiction, and essays have also appeared in various publications both online and in print, and I am currently working with indie game developers on some fantastic video game projects.
