Who is This Andrew Buckley Person?
Andrew Buckley is an accomplished storyteller, educator, and keynote speaker with over two decades of experience in creative writing, storytelling, and marketing. As a published author, Andrew favours playing in the fantasy and paranormal sandboxes and has a terrible habit of writing with a humorous and satirical slant despite being asked politely on numerous occasions to ‘please stop doing that’. He continues to successfully navigate both traditional and self-publishing landscapes, crafting engaging speculative fiction that resonates with readers of all ages.
Known for his distinctive voice that seamlessly blends humour with compelling narratives, Andrew has established himself as a versatile creator across multiple platforms, including novels, comic books, screenplays, and podcasts. His engaging presentation style and deep understanding of storytelling mechanics make him a sought-after speaker at schools, colleges, writing conferences, and comic conventions worldwide. Andrew is a self-proclaimed film school-educated writer, which means he’s spent most of his life with no money and a strong opinion about bad movies. Around the turn of the century he attended the Vancouver Film School’s Writing for Film and Television program, graduating with excellence, and successfully selling multiple film and TV properties that have never seen the light of day. After abandoning the industry for many years, he was dragged kicking and screaming back into the film world when he co-wrote Knight Terror, a feature length horror comedy that is scheduled for production in late 2025. As a marketing professional, Andrew has lent his expertise to major national and international brands, specializing in content creation, copywriting, and strategy development. His academic contributions include developing curriculum and teaching marketing, social media, and communication theory at the post-secondary level. Based in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, Andrew continues to expand his creative portfolio while sharing his knowledge and passion for storytelling through various mediums. He is represented by Terrie Wolf of AKA Literary Management and maintains an active presence in both traditional and digital publishing spaces. At the time you’re reading this, he’s likely busy working on several new projects and attempting to bend time and space to allow for more hours in the day. |
