The Chick Lit Beat

what target offers its reading public

It startd so simply. Two years ago I wrote a piece about Lauren Weisberger, because The Devil Wears Prada was all the rage.

Then I wrote a piece mocking the chick lit genre and how some women are trying to not write cookie-cutter romances.

Then, strangely, I started getting a lot of unsolicited chick lit books in the mail.

Then I interviewed an Iraqi chick lit author.

Now, not only am I working on a story about erotica, but I was jsut called a romance "fan" by a publicist.

...le sigh..

So much for being taken seriously. No one ever won a Pulitzer for following the chick lit beat.
