Well, we already know that my mom wrote a book. (Quit Telling Me What to Do! was released in May 2009 by the Advantage Media Group.)
But now, I'm super-pleased to say that I have two friends whose books will be published in the spring of 2010. They're already up on Amazon (and I've already pre-ordered).
Never Tell Our Business to Strangers: a Memoir, by Jennifer Mascia, is expected by Villard on March 2, 2010
Save the Assistants: a Book for the Beleaguered, by Lilit Marcus, is due out from Hyperion on April 13, 2010. The book is just the next step for Save the Assistants, which already hosts a blog for the beleaguered. As Lilit's intern, I'm happy to report that she is a fantastic boss - no beleaguerment here!
In October, I'm heading back to the lovely Charleston, South Carolina to attend Advantage Media's Annual Author Marketing Summit (with mother in tow) for what I'm sure will be another wonderful experience with Alison, George, and the rest of the Advantage family. All this book business has really got me thinking - could I be the next one with an ISBN? I've got the idea, the outline, and a couple of connections in the industry, so keep your eyes peeled. It may not be long before I add "author" to my résumé.
For now, however, reporter, writer, journalist, editor and occasional poet will have to do.
