Andrew Barber

After doing almost nothing with his writing for over 20 years, and being nagged by his daughter to enter, Andrew Barber beat 7,000 other poets to become the inaugural Poetry Rivals Slam Champion in 2010, and has since completed three volumes of poetry and four novels in The Cybermancer Chronicles.

He was runner-up in the 2015 Individual Writer's Games, and captain of the Longest Night Watch team, runners-up in the Team events. He also writes satire, music, poetry reviews and computer programs.

Andrew was one of the organisers and editors of the Stardust, Always anthology, after contributing to the Terry Pratchett-themed Longest Night Watch anthology in 2015, in aid of Alzheimer's research.
