About

Andrew B. Spencer

Writer & Editor

Hello! My name is Andrew Spencer, and I’ve been writing professionally for over twenty years. I grew up in Dallas, Texas, and spent my high school years at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia. It was there that I met the woman I’d later marry, and today we live in Richmond, Virginia, with our three rescue dogs. When I’m not writing, I enjoy sailing on the Chesapeake Bay through my association with Fishing Bay Yacht Club, fishing in and around Richmond, and volunteering with the local SPCA. 

I have a BA in English from the University of Texas, an MA in English from Baylor University, and a Ph.D. in Media, Art, and Text from Virginia Commonwealth University. To see a full accounting of my academic achievements, check out my academic CV.

Beyond the academic realm, I have a wealth of communications-related experience in virtually every medium and every professional area, including non-profit, private sector, news media, and government. My employment history includes work done on behalf of Fortune 500 companies, the United States Department of State, local magazines and newspapers, and non-profit groups, as well as smaller companies and individuals.

No matter your project, I have the skills and the experience to make it the best it can be. Whether it’s marketing copywriting for your business, communications for your non-profit, college application essays, or thesis/dissertation preparation, I’ll make your message clear and your communications coherent and accurate. Get in touch with me today so that together we can make sure that your work is perfect.
