Brittany & Terri Macleod

Brittany MacLeod is a 14-year-old eighth grader at York Prep in New York City. Besides being an avid writer and an adventurous city kid, she’s also grown up in and around the entertainment business (her mother, Terri, is an entertainment producer/writer/reporter). She’s often on celebrity red carpets, premieres, fashion shows and dozens of celebrity junkets. She’s met (and been photographed with) everyone from the Jonas Brothers to Zac Efron to Hilary Duff to Miley Cyrus to the Gossip Girl cast (to name just a few). Plus, she’s a teen reporter for teen volunteer group Do Something, covering the celebrity charity beat. Brittany also has her own blog on the tween Web site Allykatzz.com and writes about celebrity news and cool new trends. Brittany gets the ups and downs of being 13 and the need for a tween-friendly book that speaks a young teen’s lingo and can help navigate life’s curves (of which there are many) with a little silliness, a lot less drama and tons of confidence. She created 113 Things to Do by 13 to spread the message, “Let’s be ourselves, love ourselves, learn a little something and have an awesome time.” Brittany’s mother, Terri MacLeod, has been a celebrity journalist for more than 15 years. Currently, she is a senior producer at the top-rated entertainment show Access Hollywood. On a daily basis, Ms. MacLeod is at the epicenter of the celebrity loop—writing, reporting and covering everything celebrity. She has interviewed every major A-list star, covered hundreds of red carpet events, has been backstage on photo shoots, fashion shows—you name it! Ms. MacLeod also writes an eco-celebrity column for the green Web site Treehugger.com. She is a freelance writer on celebrity/lifestyle issues for numerous publications, including a stint as a longtime contributing editor at In Touch Weekly, where she originated and wrote weekly pieces on beauty, fashion and lifestyle. Besides her work in the celebrity world, Ms. MacLeod enjoys working with and writing about teenagers. She loves to help young girls develop a can-do attitude. Ms. MacLeod’s dream is to run workshops for young teens and help girls transition into their teens with inspiration, confidence and positive self-esteem.
