From the editor of Dolly and CLEO magazines comes a fun, fast-paced novel about life in the glossy magazine fast lane. When Nina Morey gets her perfectly pedicured toe on the first rung of the highly-competitive magazine publishing ladder, she can't believe her luck.Then she lands the hottest man in town AND her best friend relocates from the other side of the world to help her paint the town neon pink. Nina's life has suddenly turned from dull to dream come true.

Soon she's scaling the magazine ladder faster than she can say 'Anna Wintour', securing dream job after dream job, while schmoozing her way around Sydney's hottest spots.

Life is good but you never know what's around the corner. Is something about to go very wrong for Nina?

From an industry insider who most recently edited the iconic Australian women's glossy CLEO, Gemma reveals the everyday tussles and tantrums that go into designing the perfect cover, wrangling celebrities and hunting down that must-have frock or story. Because working in the glossy magazine industry isn't just about French bubbles and blow-dries...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gemma Crisp developed her love of books and magazines while growing up on a sheep farm in the middle of Tasmania in the prehistoric days before the internet. It wasn't until she'd hit the bright lights of London some years later that she realised she could get paid to write about mascara, threesomes and celebrities (not necessarily all at once!). After acing her first magazine internship, thanks to being a photocopying and coffee-fetching ninja, Gemma moved to Sydney and has spent more than a decade working for some of Australia's glossiest magazines, including New Woman, Girlfriend, OK!, Cosmopolitan Bride and NW. She popped her editorship cherry at teen bible DOLLY, then moved to the editor's chat at CLEO, where she spent her days fending off wannabe Eligible Bachelors, wrangling celebrity publicists and attempting to craft the perfect coverline. Gemma is about to move to London again, where she'll try not to buy Topshop out of shoes.
