This is Chick-Lit


This is Chick-Lit

The debate between chick-lit and literary fiction has heated up! A new anthology sets out to show chick is lit.

In the last decade, chick lit has exploded in popularity. Readers relate to the stories told by a growing group of powerful and fun women: chick-lit writers. The writers of this ever-growing genre write about all women, in all walks of life, from the 'burs to bergdorfs.

'This is Chick-Lit' sets out to prove that chick-lit is not only enjoyable, but smart and timely. With an introduction that accurately defines the running, and mostly ridiculous, argument between 'Chick' and 'Lit' and a collection of stories from the country's best fiction writers, 'This is Chick-Lit offers the best of the best. It's thought provoking, funny and most of all entertaining from start to finish.

Countering the forth-coming Random House title, 'This is Not Chick-Lit', This is Chick-Lit spotlights the worth of this growing genre through various contributors who prove that being labeled chick-lit doesn't make a story, or its author, part of literary underclass, but quite the opposite.
