Born in February between snowstorms, Drew decided early on that he would rather stay indoors and make art. His love of books quickly turned into an intense desire to write. Taking early inspiration from comics, he quickly transitioned to short fiction, finding success in local literary magazines in high school. Inspired by a wide range of influences including Toni Morrison, Raymond Carver, and Haruki Murakami, he developed his first novellas while obtaining a BFA in Creative Writing.
Since returning to NJ he has partnered with Jeffrey Allan Davis to form Chimera Productions, a powerful independent theater company operating out of the Arts Council of Princeton in New Jersey. They have staged productions including Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Never Swim Alone, On An Average Day, The Other Place and Bottle Factory, Drew’s first original play.
His first collection of novellas, This Was Not The Truth, was published in December of 2018 and is available now in print and eBook. He is currently working on a new play to debut in 2020.
