Brittany Turski

Brittany is a native of Toledo, OH and has lived in Chicago for the past seven years. She graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a B.A. in English and a B.B.A. in Finance and International Studies. After a short life as a writer/editor at an investment bank, she decided to pursue her dream as a fiction writer and returned to school to get her MFA at Roosevelt. She is currently an assistant manager of a textbook store in downtown Chicago.

She primarily focuses on longer novel pieces, although she has always dabbled in poetry. Authors that have most influenced her are Nadine Gordimer and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Her passion for foreign writers stems from her love of different cultures and travel. Brittany believes it's the best way to add to her life experience and accumulate material for the next creative work sleeping inside her. In her free time, her two favorite things to do are to laugh and dance.
