Andrea Guevara
Branding expert & writer
Hello! I’m Andrea Guevara and I’m excited to teach you how to craft an authentically awesome personal brand–one that is true to who you are and what you want. I have over eighteen years of experience as a branding strategist and graphic/web designer. A few years back I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a writer and to marry my passions for branding and writing, in order to help writers like you improve their careers.
Writing is often a solitary activity and shifting gears from creating to marketing/branding can be hard. I want to help make it easier!
Here is a little bit more about my professional street cred, in both branding and writing: In addition to my past experience as Creative Director and President of my branding firm, Lucky 19–and starting a couple other businesses–I was Brand Director of BinderCon (national literary conference) and also worked for a little while as Digital Media Program Coordinator for PEN Center USA. Most recently, I handled all branding for New York Times bestselling author, Stephanie Land.
I graduated from the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program where I was a 2014/15 Writing Program Scholar. My work (writing and visual) has appeared in DAME, The Write Life, ESME, Role Reboot, Mash Stories, Winter Tangerine Review, Conde Nast Traveler, StartupNation, Parenting OC, Healthy Child Healthy World, and USA Today. I authored a self-published ebook called Brand Almighty. I served as a short story judge at MashStories. I am currently working on a coming of age memoir about my search for worth and identity, while growing up in an evangelical Christian marriage.
