Britta speaks at Writers Guild of Texas

Former member Britta Coleman will be speaking at the next Writers Guild of Texas meeting:

Monday, 15 October 2007
7-8:30 p.m.
Speaker: Britta Coleman, author of Potter Springs
Topic: The Art of Rewriting

Richardson Public Library

900 Civic Center Dr.
Richardson TX 75080
Basement Room

Read, write, and be persistent, says Britta Coleman when asked for advice for writers. At the October meeting, she will go beyond that and open the door to the art of rewriting. A plethora of 5-star ratings on amazon.com for Potter Springs is proof that she knows what she's talking about.

As a kid, Britta decided to be a lawyer because she was adept at arguing. Aren't we glad that college, parenting, and a complete love of reading changed her path?

Britta Coleman is an award-winning author, essayist and inspirational speaker. Her debut novel from Time Warner Books, POTTER SPRINGS, garnered national media attention, critical acclaim, and won the Lone Star Scribe Award from Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Her essays have appeared in anthologies from Guideposts Books and Simon & Schuster, and she has written for FYI Television Features, Heroes for Humanity, Authorlink, the Amarillo Globe-News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Britta Coleman lives in Fort Worth with her husband, two children, and a fussy Chihuahua named Rosie.
