Hi, I'm Andrew Kooman and I write things down. On the page, for the stage and for the screen.
I'm the playwright and screenwriter of the human trafficking thriller She Has A Name, the historical drama We Are the Body, and producer of the series Dream and Breath of Life. An official author with the Skit Guys, I make people laugh in church through content regularly produced across North America.
Why subscribe?
When you subscribe you’ll get access to my newsletter Things I Wrote Down as well as this website, where I feature original content: articles, short stories, analysis and things in between.
Along with my companion podcast Things I Said Out Loud, I’ll talk about creativity, geek out about writing and share original content.
What do I write about?
Each week I share an original article on Thursday. On weekends I drop link roundups of things I find around the web and a poem.
Paid subscribers get exclusive readings, first-looks at original work and access to the whole archive.
Themes of my work include art, faith, justice and how those things collide. I'm especially interested in how creative people use their art and talents to make real world impact.
As creators and believers of any type, we have a huge inheritance from people that came before us and I want to be part of cultivating community here, and building that inheritance into the future. If that resonates with you, you'll find like minds and connection here.
If you follow me on social, you’ll know that I sometimes give a window into #dadlife, overshare about my love for trees and am always looking for the perfect cup of coffee.
