Hi, I’m Andre. I write fantasy and comedy for young adult and older audiences. I’m a game writer for Ubisoft Montreal, and I’ve written for titles from BLUE ISLE STUDIOS, ADVENTURE WORKS and ENTHUSIAST GAMES. My script THE NAUGHTY LIST was listed in the 2016 Nicholls Fellowship Competition, run by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I’ve recently completed my first novel and currently seeking representation. For inquiries: andre.szyd@gmail.com
