ABOUT THE NARRATOR

Andy Barrow is a New York–based writer whose debut novel, Peter in Progress, draws inspiration from his own later-in-life gay awakening. Alongside Peter’s release, Andy’s poetry was recently featured at the Saints and Sinners LGBTQ+ Literary Festival, and his original play Many Apartments Including My Own will be performed as part of OUTPLAY’s Summer Theater Festival.

When he’s not writing, Andy is likely perfecting his backhand, chasing his next cold brew, or making up for lost time on the dance floor—preferably with ‘90s icons (Crystal, CeCe, Whitney…) on rotation. While embracing life as a gay man and author, Andy manages to maintain a day job; he’s a proud educator who recently earned a doctorate in curriculum, instruction, and innovation.
