FISTFULAYENWanna Publish A Book?
So my sister in law is an aquisitions editor at a big fancy book company and she wrote a book about how to write a book and get it published. She’s talking specifically about chick-lit, but the lessons are pretty universal for those who would like to be published some day (like me!). If that interests you, you should buy her book.
If you’re in LA, you should also go to her reading at Book Soup on Friday night. Hell, it’s an opportunity to earn brownie points with an editor at a major book company, and the chick-lit angle might bring out some bookwormy girls (for those — like Paul — who are interested in such things).
Here’s the info:
Hello Good People of Los Angeles.
I wrote a book (co-wrote, but still). It’s called See Jane Write: A Girl’s Guide to Writing Chick Lit. It’s pretty cute. And I’m not just saying that because I (co)wrote it. Other people have told me it’s cute, and they weren’t just saying it to be nice. Some people (people I don’t even know) have also said it’s “helpful,” “witty,” and “handy dandy.”
Why am I telling you this? Because I’ll be in L.A. on September 15 hocking this handy dandy guide at Book Soup. Won’t you join me?
Useful Info
When: Friday, September 15, 7pm
Where: Book Soup, 8818 Sunset Blvd (btw San Vicente and La Cienega)
Why: Because you’ve been dying to let that chick lit novel inside of you out into the world? Because you want to know everything there is to know about chick lit? Because you have nothing better to do on a Friday night?
Hope to see you there. Please pass this along to anyone you think might interested in coming to this. I’d hate to come all that way to talk to the three weirdos that go to every reading in town because they like a nice place to sit for a while.
Lit’s not dead!
