"Books by bloggers" are (is?) officially a trend, Kevin Roderick of L.A. Observed lets me know - spying this piece in The New Yorker before this week's copy arrived in my mailbox.
"Kate Lee is a 27-year-old assistant at International Creative Management in Manhattan who pals around with some New York bloggers," Roderick writes. "The New Yorker's Ink column this week also credits her with pushing the new trend towards books by bloggers."
To clarify any misconceptions: To this point, I've been playing hard to get. But agents, publishers - I'm done being coy. I want you - I want you bad! Ask me for my outline, my number, my measurements - whatever you want to know.
