Reality Chick Redux
So I found out last week that Simon Pulse is planning to give REALITY CHICK a makeover! The book will be getting a new title, and a new cover. Exciting!

The only problem? Um, we don't have the new title picked out yet. Any ideas? They want it to be something fun and sexy, but sort of downplay the reality angle, so that the book doesn't scream, "THIS IS A REALITY TV BOOK!"

If we pick your title, I will send you a prize!

Also, I've been hanging out a lot on twitter -- you can find me at www.twitter.com/laurenbarnholdt.

My sisters are coming today for a visit, and I am trying to clean my apt, so I'll do a longer entry later :)

omg, how awesome is THAT?? YAY!! Is it because 2-way street is doing so well?

BTW, saw a huge stack of 11th priting 2-way street ona table at B&N.

Yes, that is the reason!

That's so cool, I keep seeing them on tables, too, I have no idea why all of a sudden it's getting a front table boost!

Your pub must be paying co-op $, becuase as far as I know that's how it's determined.

^ Yeah at my B&N, they usually had 1 copy on the shelves and now they have six. Wow!

As far as suggestions, I remember when it was called IN THE HOUSE. I actually thought that one was cute. Also, did I ever tell you about how my mom misread the title once during a visit?

Mom: *apparently catches glimpse of books on my dresser* Hey Andrea, what's that book about real estate?
Me: *blank look*
Mom: That pink one. Realty Chick?

OMG THAT'S AMAZING!!! Congrats!

I however, have no title ideas, but if I suddenly have a burst of creativity and come up with one, I'll let you know, lol.

so my creativity isn't exactly bursting at the seams right now, but I think using the word angle might work. That might seem a bit odd, but it just seems like a word that would work with the idea of reality t.v. because they always are spinning the stories with their own angle. However, whenever I try to formulate this word into a title of some sort it just seems weird, and the more I say the word the weirder it gets.

Freshman Angle
Living Proof

yeah thats all I got, sorry :(
good luck trying to come up with something amazing
