BIOGRAPHY
Andrea Fitcha has been drawing since she was old enough to hold a crayon. A self-taught illustrator, she has done everything from drawing portraits to designing rubber stamps. She has always had an interest in children's books, and has been writing and illustrating her own stories since she was in grade school. In 1995 she submitted her first book dummy to book publishers, and began her rejection letter collection, which has grown over the years. She finally started her acceptance letter collection in 2003, and hopes to continue to add to it.
