SCHORR

BLOGGER GIRL (#1)

chick lit, humorous fiction, women's fiction

Blogger Girl Series

Book Blogger Kimberly Long has worked tirelessly by night to keep the chick lit genre alive. Not bad for a woman who by day ekes out a meager living as a pretty, and pretty-much-nameless, legal secretary in a Manhattan law firm. While Kim’s day job holds no passion for her, the handsome associate down the hall is another story. Yet another story is that Hannah Marshak, one of her most hated high school classmates, has popped onto the scene with a hot new book that’s turning heads—and pages—across the land. And as everyone around her seems to be moving on and up, Kim begins to question whether being a “blogger girl” makes the grade in her offline life.

“Sassy, sexy, endlessly entertaining, and full of laughs (as well as some heart-wrenching moments).” – Tracie Banister, Author of Mixing It Up

NOVELISTA GIRL (#2)

Kimberly Long runs a popular chick lit book blog, loves playing house with her sexy lawyer boyfriend, Nicholas, and is finally pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming a published author. But is there more to the story than meets the eye? Kim is driven to seek advice from up-and-coming author, Hannah Marshak, her high school nemesis and resident "mean girl." As if balancing her secretarial duties with her blog, shrugging off agent rejections, and keeping her best friend from turning green over Kim’s budding friendship with Hannah isn't enough, Nicholas is so blinded by his career ambitions, he doesn’t see that their home sweet home could use more than a dash of sugar.

“Novelista Girl solidifies Schorr’s place among best-sellers Sophie Kinsella and Emily Giffin.” – Carolyn Ridder Aspenson, Bestselling Author of the Angela Panther Series

A STATE OF JANE

Jane Frank is ready to fall in love. With the LSAT coming up, she needs to find a boyfriend (or husband) before acing law school and becoming a partner at her father’s firm. There’s just one problem: all the guys in New York City are flakes. Interested one day and gone the next, they seemingly drop off the face of the earth with no warning and no explanation. In her misguided belief that life doesn’t really start until you get married, Jane jumps from one extreme to the next trying to force a happily ever after until she breaks. Will she ever find her path, and can she do it without alienating her friends and family and risking her career in the process?

“I laughed my way through this novel. A must-read from Meredith Schorr.” – Chick Lit Plus

JUST FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

When a friend urges Stephanie Cohen not to put all her eggs in one bastard, the advice falls on deaf ears. Stephanie’s college crush on Craig Hille has been awakened thirteen years later as if soaked in a can of Red Bull, and she is determined not to let the guy who got away once, get away twice. Stephanie, a thirty-two-year-old paralegal from Washington, D.C., is a seventies and eighties television trivia buff who can recite the starting lineup of the New York Yankees and go beer for beer with the guys. And despite her failure to get married and pro-create prior to entering her thirties, she has so far managed to keep her overbearing mother from sticking her head in the oven.

“The perfect vacation read. The dialogue flows like beer at a beach party.” – K.C. Wilder, Huffington Post Contributor

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

On the eve of her thirty-ninth birthday, Maggie Piper doesn’t look, act, or feel much different than she did at twenty-eight, but with her fortieth birthday speeding toward her like a freight train, she wonders if she should. When a spontaneous request for a temporary break from her live-in boyfriend results in a breakup, Maggie finds herself single once again and only twelve months from the big 4-0. As Maggie re-enters the New York City dating jungle, suitors present themselves quickly, but who is “The One?” Her fun-loving friends and supportive family eagerly share their (often unsolicited) opinions, but Maggie is determined to find her own way, even if she falls on her face—repeatedly.

“Maggie Piper navigates a version of Manhattan that’s as fun and original as Woody Allen’s or Sex and the City’s.” – Diana Spechler, Author of Who by Fire and Skinny

Humorous Fiction

THE BOYFRIEND SWAP

Here comes the merriest of indulgences: “The Proposal” meets “The Holiday.” First meet Robyn Lane. She’s always dated struggling creative types. For this year’s Chrismukkah celebration, her parents would love her to bring someone stable and steadily employed. Now meet Sidney Bellows. If she brings her current attorney boyfriend to the family Christmas extravaganza, her parents will plan their wedding by New Year’s Eve. Leave it to a mutual friend (and copious amounts of wine) to find a playful solution: Swap those boyfriends, fool the parents, and enjoy the holidays. It’s perfect! Fool the parents? Enjoy the holidays? Swapping boyfriends never sounded so good or went so bad.

“Pieces of the puzzle are thoroughly and appealingly mixed up in this well-paced tale.” – Publishers Weekly

BRIDAL GIRL (#3)

Sassy book blogger-turned-author, Kim Long, thought her life couldn’t get any pinker when she received a two-book publishing deal and a marriage proposal in the same night. If only she could drown out the conflicting opinions of her overzealous bridal party. If only everyone would adore her first book—or she’d take Nicholas’s advice and stop reading reviews.  If only Nicholas’s past would remain there rather than threaten their future.The pressure is on and the clock is ticking. Will Kim ever write “The End” on her sophomore novel? And, will she and Nicholas make it down the aisle to say those two precious words: “I do?” Put on your reading glasses, fill your champagne flute and prepare to laugh with (and sometimes at) Kim as she rewrites her happy ending until it’s worthy of five pink champagne flutes.
