Andrew Scott has published in each of the four genres taught in creative writing programs, with a primary focus on fiction writing and screenwriting. His stories, author interviews, and book reviews have appeared in Esquire, Glimmer Train Stories, Night Train, The Writer’s Chronicle, The Cincinnati Review, Mid-American Review, Superstition Review, and other publications. He is the author of Modern Love, a story chapbook.


He began teaching college writing in 1999 at New Mexico State University, where he also served as the co-managing editor of Puerto del Sol and earned an MFA in creative writing. In 2002 he began teaching more than a dozen different writing courses at Ball State University.


He now also teaches the occasional course at Marian University, as well as creative writing courses for teenagers each summer through the Writers’ Center of Indiana’s partnership with the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library.


He lives with his wife, the writer Victoria Barrett, in Irvington, a historic neighborhood in Indianapolis named for writer Washington Irving, where they edit Freight Stories, a notable online fiction journal that has published the work of numerous award-winning and emerging authors.


This year brings a new endeavor, Sinkhole Press, a comic book publishing venture with Ed Herrera, a Kubert School graduate and comics industry veteran. The first project slated for release is an anthology featuring the work of artists from three different countries. The second is Bad Neighbors, a graphic novella with art by Sigbjørn Lilleeng.
