Hi! I’m Andrea.
I’m a journalist and activist living in Austin, Texas with my husband, two very vocal cats, and an eminently goofy hound dog. I lead the research team at Reproaction and write about Texas, politics, and reproductive justice here at Home With The Armadillo and elsewhere.
What you’ll find here on the blog:
Under the Hollering with the Armadillo tag, I publish takes on news and politics, cultural commentary, personal essays, and the like. Every Halloween, I write a short story for the season.
Separately — but I think HWTA readers will be interested — I also publish a serial epistolary sci-fi/horror novel, Revival! Weekly, (I treat the “weekly” part as mostly aspirational, but I do post every week if I can). I hope fans of zombies, vampires, and political satire will enjoy it. New readers can start from the beginning.
Everything I write here on HWTA is free, but I’m pleased to offer folks who are able to pay to support my work a few different ways to do so. But honestly? The best way to support my work is to share my writing with folks who you think will enjoy it, and encourage others to subscribe!

You can learn more about me and the work I do on my portfolio website, or reach out by email: andrea.grimes [at] gmail dot com for regular queries, or grimesandrea [at] proton dot me for stuff that needs a more secure channel.
I’m always open to interesting assignments — writing or editing — and happy to consult on strategic communications for the right client.
