Alexandra Potter (born 1970) is a British author of romantic comedies. == Biography == Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, Potter was educated at Liverpool University, where she received an honours degree in English Literature and Film Studies. In 1993, at the age of 23, Potter moved to London to be the editor of a puzzle magazine. In her spare time, she wrote articles for British glossies such as ''ELLE'', ''Company'', ''More!'', and ''Cosmopolitan''. Five years later, she moved to Australia, where she worked for the Australian ''Vogue'' and ''Cleo Magazine''. In 1999, Potter began work on her first novel, ''What's New, Pussycat?''. She signed a deal with literary agent Stephanie Cabot. Within days of handing in her finished manuscript, a bidding war broke out between several publishers. Potter ended up signing a two-book deal, and ''Pussycat'' was published in April 2000. Potter has written 11 novels. Her books have been published in both the UK (including the Commonwealth) and the US and have been translated and sold in 21 territories, including France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Russia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Brazil, Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia, China, Croatia and Serbia. Her novel ''Me and Mr. Darcy'' won Best New Fiction at The Jane Austen Regency World Awards in May 2008.
