A Book is Sold · 11 July 2003
“Globe and Mail columnist and Canada’s inimitable ‘It’ Girl [sic] Leah McLaren’s The Continuity Girl, about the romantic adventures and misadventures of a film-industry insider, combining social satire with a fresh perspective on the overworked, underburdened experience of the young and unapologetically neurotic modern female, to Iris Tupholme at HarperCanada, with Siobhan Blessing editing, by Anne McDermid.”
UPDATE After a number of queries, I should confirm that the announcement reprinted above is NOT a hoax, or some form of cruel joke, and that yes, lifestyle-slathered princess ditzes earning six-figure salaries to rephrase the same fictions of urban hip every Saturday (to the delight of twelve residents of Forest Hill and the wall-eyed incomprehension of everyone else) get book deals. So it goes.
