The Jack of All Trades!
"
I Didn't find writing, writing found me....I Didn't start the beef, the beef started with me...I embraced the talent, ignored the beef....Sold thousands of books,
made a few foes...But I don't crumble or break that easily...I'm Destined to succeed, I'm more than a write.r..I thought I told you...I'm A STAR!
Brittani Williams was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, where she currently resides. She began writing when a school assignment required her to write a short play. This assignment showed her how far her imagination could go and it also helped her escape the drama of the world around her. With writing only being a hobby Brittani grew into an adult and attended a few different colleges. Writing still stayed a hobby but she strived for a degree, unfortunately she could never settle on one that fit her interests. 94 college credits later, shes taken Nursing Prerequisites, Education classes, Paralegal Studies and Fashion Design Majors and still had yet to find what she loved.
After much encouragement from family, friends and co-worker alike Brittani, now a single mother focused on writing again while on a break from school. She completed her first manuscript in 2005 which was titled Automatic Princess. After months of research she found a publishing company that she wanted to submit to. She submitted the manuscript and received a quick response. Within four months she had signing a two book contract with Q-boro books, a publisher in Queens NY.
The last two years have definitely been a blessing for Brittani with the release of Daddys Little Girl and tons of great feedback from readers all over. She has had the opportunity to participate in two anthology projects Fantasy (Urban Lifestyle Press) and Flexin & Sexin (Life Changing Books) with some of the hottest authors in the game. With the release of Sugar Walls, her sophomore novel she had four projects in circulation, all released in the same year. In 2008 she came back even stronger with The Cathouse, a novel that she co-wrote with authors Anna J and Laurinda D. Brown in June 2008 and Black Diamond her third novel in December 2008. The sequel Nicety will be released May 2010 on Urban Books/Kensignton Publishing.
Her next venture is starting her own publishing company, Trendsetters Publications, a Philadelphia based company that will publish fiction novels in the genres of Urban, Erotica and Contemporary. The company will release three novels at the end of 2009, one of which is the first installment in a teen series written by Brittani called The Pretty Committee. The series will focus on many issues that teens of today experience and will be able to capture those that have moved on to adult books without them feeling like the books are for children. With this teen series, she plans to do a school tour and also plans to start up a creative writing scholarship for her Alma matter, Dobbins Vocational High School, in Philadelphia.
In June 2010 Brittani added Playwright and Director to her list. She produced her first stageplay based on her novel Black Diamond in Philadelphia. It was a huge success with over 700 people in attendace (blackdiamondplay.com). She is now working on a major tour as well as a stage play based on her novel Sugar Walls.
Now, this is a career for Brittani and she's found what she loves. She dreams of becoming as successful as some of her favorite authors and playwrights and one of her goals are to score a major publishing deal by 2011. Brittani is the mother of a seven year old and is currently hard at work on more novels, including a long awaited sequel for her fan favorite Daddy's Little Girl! Stay Tuned!
