Andrew S. Taylor was born in Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1973 and attended Boston University for two years as a film major, before transferring to Sarah Lawrence College to study writing, philosophy, and literature. He graduated in 1996, in debt up to his eyebrows, but thankfully prepared for the world of office work with his expertise in Microsoft Word and Marcusian political philosophy.
Subsequent years found Taylor in such diverse cities as Florence, Oakland, Boston, and Athens, Georgia. He eventually ended up in New York City, where he earned a Master's degree in Creative Writing at the City College of New York. Now a full-fledged Grand Master at numerous word processing programs, Taylor publishes fiction and articles of questionable taste and intent. His fiction has appeared in various literary journals, including one story which was short-listed for Best American Mystery Stories 2002. He was also, for three years, a writer for Ghetto Blaster Magazine, for which he reviewed hundreds of cds, and interviewed such bands as Black Heart Procession, Of Montreal, and Persephone's Bees.
