Hailed by The Times as ‘A winning formula… sharply written, pacey and funny’ and by The Daily Mirror, who declared ‘Nobody does it quite like Alexandra Potter’, my books have been translated into over twenty-five languages, hit bestseller lists, sold over a million copies worldwide and been optioned by several major film companies.Īside from novels, I’ve also written a short story for Radio 4 and contributed to several anthologies, including Girl’s Night In, in aid of the international charity War Child.īorn and raised in Yorkshire, I lived for several years in LA before settling back in the UK. To date I’ve written twelve novels including Be Careful What You Wish For, Me and Mr Darcy, which won Best New Fiction Award at the Jane Austen Regency World Awards, Love From Paris which was shortlisted for the RNA Comedy Award and my latest, Confessions of a Forty-something F#k Up. My first novel, What’s New, Pussycat? was published in 2000, a week before my 30th birthday and immediately made the top ten. After a slight detour which involved a redundancy and saw me travelling to Sydney, Australia and landing a job at Vogue, a chance article about novelists under the age of thirty inspired me to finally take the plunge and try my hand at writing a novel. After graduating from Liverpool University with a degree in English Literature, I moved to London where I worked for various magazines. My childhood dream was always to become a writer.
