Alexandra Potter

Alexandra Potter is the bestselling author of numerous romantic comedy fiction novels, including the mega-hit Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, which was adapted by 20th Television & ABC into the major US TV series, Not Dead Yet. In 2024 Alexandra was awarded a Silver Bestseller Award by Neilsen BookScan, in recognition of 250,000 copies sold and to date Confessions has sold over half a million across all formats in the UK. Alexandra is also a huge hit internationally. Her titles have currently sold in twenty-eight territories and constantly make the bestseller charts and win awards across the world. Alexandra’s dream was always to be a writer. After graduating from Liverpool University with a degree in English Literature, she worked for various magazines as a features writer and sub-editor, before a chance article about novelists under the age of thirty inspired her to finally take the plunge and try her hand at writing a novel. Her first novel, What’s New, Pussycat? was published in 2000, a week before her thirtieth birthday, and immediately made the top ten. To date she has published fourteen novels, several short stories and a radio play for BBC Radio 4. Yorkshire born and raised, Alexandra lived for several years in LA before settling in London with her Californian husband and their Bosnian rescue dog. When she’s not writing or travelling, she’s getting out into nature, trying not to look at her phone and navigating this thing called mid-life.
