Andrew Cahill-Lloyd

Andrew Cahill-Lloyd is an Australian author and screenwriter whose work spans crime fiction, psychological thriller, YA science fiction, children's literature, and LGBTQ+ themed storytelling. His writing is known for its unflinching honesty, dark humour, and willingness to explore the uncomfortable edges of human experience.

The Walking Wounded plunges into the shadows of Newcastle, following two senior detectives confronting a child prostitution ring and the societal indifference that enables it. The accompanying screenplay is an award winner and a testament to Andrew's ability to translate raw narrative into screen-ready drama.

Ischaemic — a gritty psychological thriller with queer themes — earned a SPTIFF 2025 Finalist nomination for its screenplay adaptation and a glowing review from Literary Titan, who praised its intensity and willingness to punch hard without apology.

On the lighter side, Cosmic Cat introduces young readers to the key characters who reappear in the animated sci-fi feature The Visitors — a story of alien envoys, religious extremism, and humanity's fight for survival set across timelines and planets.

Andrew is also a passionate advocate for human rights, with proceeds from select works supporting Destiny Rescue, an organisation dedicated to rescuing children from exploitation.
