Andrew DeYoung has wanted to be a writer since he started reading Chapter Books in grade school.
And while Andrew’s been a writer for decades, his first published novel has made a splash.
The Exo Project was the winner of the 2017 Minnesota Book Awards for Young Adult Literature! Congratulations Andrew!
I am lucky enough to live across the street from Andrew. We spent an evening together drinking whiskey, chatting about his writing, and discussing the need for validation that comes with the creative process.
