Andrew Pettigrew

Who Am I?

Andrew Pettigrew is an eighteen-year-old writer and poet who currently lives in Hamilton, Scotland with his family and two dogs. Deafblind and proud, Andrew has won the Pushkin Prizes, the Foyles Young Poets of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the Young Walter Scott Prize in 2019. Andrew has also collaborated with Scottish Book Trust, Scottish Poetry Library, the Poetry Society and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, and he enjoys telling bad jokes, making horribly loud music and reading anything within reach.
