Author bio

Hello everyone! My name is Brittany. I'm a freelance editor, English adjunct, and writer living along the NC coastline with my fiance, two kiddos, and one incredibly spoiled pittie named Hendrick. I love working to help writers grow and evolve their craft, nurturing new perspectives that will allow readers to escape through literature, and I'm dedicated to building strong relationships in the writing community. I love judging writing competitions, which is why I'm here! When not writing, editing, or reading, I can be found with my family and friends playing Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft, painting (badly), cooking up something in the kitchen, watching her favorite Korean dramas, or floating along the ocean waves. Find me on NaNoWriMo, Twitter, and Instagram @liter8ure or my website https://brittany-johnston.com/
