BiographyBorn in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, Potter was educated at Liverpool University, where she received an honours degree in English Literature and Film Studies.[1] 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.[2] In 1999, Potter began work on her first novel, What's New, Pussycat?.

Potter ended up signing a two-book deal, and Pussycat was published in April 2000.[3] Potter has written 11 novels.
