In 2016, she won the Goodreads Choice Award for her debut book, Adulthood is a Myth.[3][4] She won in 2017 for her book Big Mushy Happy Lump and in 2018 for her book Herding Cats.[5][6]

Andersen collaborated with the novelist Andy Weir on the graphic novel Cheshire Crossing, which was released in July 2019.[7] Based on an earlier comic by Weir, the story follows Wendy Darling from Peter Pan, Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz, and Alice Liddell from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at a boarding school called "Cheshire Crossing."[8]

In late 2019, Andersen began releasing a supernatural romance webcomic called Fangs on the Tapas platform.[9][10]
