Georgie McAndrew is an emerging children’s book illustrator and storyteller based in Norwich, UK, under the pen-name of G. A. McAndrew.

While wrapping up her degree in BA (Hons) Illustration at Norwich University of the Arts, Georgie started to write and illustrate her debut picture-book ‘What the Forest Has in Store’. She is passionate about tackling tricky topics in her work such as self-expression and environmentalism by making them fun and approachable for young people.
