Andrea James
print

Andrea has been recognized for her writing skills since childhood. In 1978, Andrea was one of four middle-school students chosen to collaborate on a book of local history. That book, originally published in 1980, is currently in its fifth printing, and a second edition came out in the 1990s.

Her first paycheck for writing came at age 12, when an essay she wrote on future energy sources was selected as a winner of a Centennial of Light contest commemorating the 100th anniversary of Edison's light bulb.

After graduate school, Andrea wrote at major ad agencies for ten years, with work that debuted on the Super Bowl, Academy Awards, and other major television events.
