Andy's poem "Full Sun" was recently longlisted for The LemonLight Prize, making it to the top 100 out of over 3500 poems.
LITTLE TEETH made it to the top 25% out of 12,500 scripts entered this year. Andy is very proud of this script. He spent the last year writing it with Carl Ellsworths guidance (writer of Disturbia, Red Eye, The Last House on the Left, and Unhinged)

ZOO, the screenplay Andy co-wrote with his writing partner Naz Pankey, has been named a Quarterfinalist in the 2026 Big Break Screenwriting Contest, out of over 12,000 submissions. Andy and Naz are honored to have made it this deep into the field.




Andy Edge grew up in Martins Ferry, Ohio, a river town in the Appalachian foothills, and that’s where most of his stories end up. He writes literary fiction, screenplays, and poetry about small river towns, hard people, and what they’ll do to hold on to each other, often through a queer lens.
He serves on the board of the Write A Great Story Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring writers. He lives in Arizona with his husband, dogs, and an ever-growing stack of true crime documentaries.
