About Me & the Business

Britton

Hey, hi, hello! I’m Britton (pronounced like the country). I created Books By Britton after I got carried away with a pandemic hobby. One day while I was doom-scrolling, I saw a tweet from author Jenny Lawson about how she had made a miniature library diorama. I’ve always loved miniatures and I had plenty of time on my hands, so I bought and completed the same kit. Four kits, a failed experiment, and lots of trial and error later and I started selling miniature bookshelves. What started in Los Angeles, grew in Austin, Texas, and now I’m settled back in Cincinnati, Ohio. Never in a million years did I think this *little* hobby of mine would take off and become a flourishing business.

I love stories of all kinds. I’m a writer and screenwriter — I got my BA in journalism and my MFA in screenwriting. I’ve been an avid reader since I was a kid. I studied abroad in Luxembourg, and have traveled to over 20 different countries.

While I’m working on your orders, I’m either binging old seasons of Survivor or listening to Broadway musicals and being distracted by my two dogs, Indiana Jones (Indy) and Olive.
