Brisa Carleton is a bestselling author, screenwriter, and three-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer based in Midtown Manhattan and Naples, Florida. She is the author of Last Call at the Savoy (winner of the American Fiction Award for Best Debut Novel), and the holiday romance Just Her Holiday Type. Her upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie will premiere as part of the 2026 Countdown to Christmas lineup.
Before turning a lifelong love of reading into a passion for writing, Brisa worked on numerous Broadway productions, including Hamilton, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Moulin Rouge! Then, in 2019, her career took an unexpected turn when HSH Prince Albert of Monaco invited her to lead his foundation’s philanthropy efforts in theater, dance, and film in honor of his mother, Princess Grace Kelly.
When she isn’t writing, Brisa is hosting friends around the piano for showtune sing-alongs or off traveling the world with her husband, Mark, and their Chihuahua, Mister Big, in search of a good story, a new escapade, and a very cold martini.
