About

Britt Tisdale is a licensed psychotherapist (LMHC) with an MFA in fiction from Seattle Pacific University. Inspired by twenty years in the counseling room, her fiction explores messy relationships, investigates family secrets, and questions what it means to love. As an undergraduate at the University of Florida, Britt was privileged to study Psychology of Literature with Dr. Bernard Paris, biographer of theorist Karen Horney, whose teaching has influenced her practice of writing.

Britt’s work has appeared in or been awarded by Salon, Pleiades, storySouth, The VIDA Review, Bellingham Review, Sonora Review, and Ruminate among others. She has taught for Rollins College and the Abroad Writers Conference, and received recognition from Tin House Summer Workshop, Wedgwood Circle, Northern California Writers’ Retreat, Lighthouse Writers Workshop, The Hambidge Center (where she serves as fiction juror), and the Royal Palm Literary Award.

Britt was a spring 2023 fellow at Buinho Creative Hub in Messejana, Portugal. She lives with her husband Bill in New York City and historic St. Augustine, Fla., where she’s (always) at work on a novel.
