Britta Jensen

Britta Jensen’s debut novel Eloia Born won the 2019 Writer's League of Texas YA Discovery Prize and reviewers are calling the book “both a dystopian narrative and a quest story; consider it a spiritual successor to Lois Lowry’s The Giver and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village.” The sequel, Hirana’s War was followed by a novelette, Ghosts of Yokosuka. Her stories have been shortlisted for various short story prizes in the UK. Britta spent twenty-two years overseas in Japan, South Korea, and Germany before moving to Austin, Texas. She edits books with The Writing Consultancy and Yellow Bird Editors, as well as teaching writing at St Edwards University. She spends her free time latin dancing and cooking spicy curries.
