Andrea Meyer - Author

Author

In the spring of 2003, after getting evicted from her apartment and moving into an apartment she bought in the East Village, Andrea wrote a story for the New York Post, in which she pretended to look for a roommate as a ploy to meet men. She decided to adapt the article into a novel (about a New York film journalist named Jacquie Stuart who writes an article for which she pretends to look for a roommate as a ploy to meet men). She began writing the book at the home of her friend and writing partner Kerry Eielson in Southwest France, with whom she was completing a screenplay called The Alpha Girls.

Back in New York, Meyer worked on her novel while covering film, entertainment and social trends for such publications as Time Out New York, Variety, Interview, The Village Voice, the New York Post, the Daily News and Fitness magazine and writing celebrity and women's interest stories for Glamour. A regular job emerged writing movie reviews, interviews and a sex and the movies column called Hot & Bothered for IFC.com; and, from December through February, she reported on the Sundance Film Festival for The Sundance Daily Insider.

Andrea completed the first draft of her novel Room for Love days after she married cinematographer Harlan Bosmajian in 2005. The book was published by St. Martin's Press in 2007. In September 2006, Meyer and her husband moved to Los Angeles, where her history professor father and psychiatric social worker mother still live. Her younger sister, Katya, a commercial producer, moved into Meyer's apartment in the East Village. Meyer is working on her follow-up novel and writing a psychological thriller for MGM.
