  • Andy Richardson is a British writer, promoter and publisher. He worked with the actor Pete Postlethwaite to ghostwrite his autobiography, A Spectacle of Dust (published Orion, 2011) and among other titles also ghostwrote John Lydon's I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right (published A Way With Media, 2020).

He publishes cookery books for Michelin-starred restaurants. He promotes tours for a variety of rock stars, politicians, actors and other entertainers and public speakers. Richardson worked with Postlethwaite for two years prior to the publication of the actor's memoir on 23 June 2011. The Guardian's film critic Peter Bradshaw observed Richardson's sympathetic treatment and described the memoir as "an extrovert, tender, charming and unselfconscious book, with some extraordinary, hell-raising and hair-raising anecdotes", and The Evening Standard noted that "The closing chapter is deeply wrenching". The book featured on The Sunday Times best-seller list and was recommended as one of its Books of the Year for 2011. The newspaper's tribute noted Richardson's contribution in finishing the book on behalf of Postlethwaite, who died prior to its completion. It reported "The final chapter, as Postlethwaite succumbs to cancer, is immensely moving". Richardson worked with the band Oasis in 1996–1998, becoming the first journalist to report on their worldwide hit (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, in exclusive interviews with Noel Gallagher. He is an investigative reporter and journalist, having completed assignments around the world. He assisted Benjamin Zephaniah with his autobiography, The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah, before promoting subsequent tours for him. As a food book publisher, he has worked with many of the UK's Michelin-starred chefs. In 2015, his company, Away With Media, published the debut cook book from Stephen Terry, titled Inspired... By. Other chef books include those for Glynn Purnell, Brad Carter, Tony Parkin, Michael O'Hare, Mickael Viljanen, Paul Foster and Adam Handling. He has both ghostwritten and published books for The Coral, The Damned and Marti Pellow. Richardson was a visiting lecturer in music journalism at Birmingham City University's school of media. As a promoter, he specialises in acoustic and spoken word performances in theatres and arts centres. His tours have promoted such artists as Jason Donovan, Francis Rossi, John Lydon, former Home Secretary Alan Johnson, the poet Benjamin Zephaniah, actor John Challis (AKA Boycie), Thunder, Marti Pellow, Paul Young, Lulu and Dom Joly.
