Andrea M. Jensen was born and raised in Southern California. Even as a young child, she was interested in storytelling. Her favorite place was snuggled on her grandparent’s couch with a book in her hand.

Growing up with parents addicted to opioids, Andrea found solace in transporting herself to other worlds through writing. Penelope and the Dream-movers is Andrea’s first novel and placed runner-up in the Book Pipeline Competition for Middle-Grade fiction and in the top 100 of the Launch Pad Prose Competition. She also enjoys writing comedy and horror/comedy screenplays and has placed in the semifinals and quarterfinals of the PAGE awards with her co-written pilots Adolescents and It’s Not a Cult. She also placed in the quarterfinals of the LA International Screenplay Awards with her co-written feature High or Die. She is currently enrolled in a BA (Hons) program for Children’s Fiction and Screenwriting through the Open College of the Arts in the UK.
