The son of an American businessman, Kidd attended the American School in London, to which he returned as a teacher after reading English literature and creative writing at the Brown University on Rhode Island. Kidd had an ambition to be a novelist. He joined a job as editorial assistant to Kate Jones at publishing company Hamish Hamilton. Kidd is a great believer in mentoring. INSET: Andrew Kidd CV.
