About

Her adult short story, 'Bad Habits', was featured in the Down in the Dirt magazine anthology (Volume 161, Nov/Dec 2018). Currently, she is diving into the magical realm of speculative fiction, hard at work on her debut middle-grade novel. Many of her best ideas come straight from her dreams. She is a member of the Gold Coast Writers’ Association, a proud new member of the Ten Penners, and a former member of Write Links in Brisbane.

Andrea Wilson has had a lifelong love of words, which led her to become a speech pathologist nearly 20 years ago. As the founder of ClearConvo, she spends her days supporting speech, language and literacy development as well as fostering a deep love of reading in both children and adults. When she isn’t helping clients unlock the power of communication, she is channeling her inner Roald Dahl to craft whimsical children’s stories and engaging adult fiction.

Originally from Canada, Andrea now calls Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast home, where she lives with her husband, their two children, and a very regal Burmese cat. If she happens to win the lottery, you will find her happily spending the rest of her days in libraries, bookshops and the beach.
