DUDE, WHERE’S MY BOOK CONTRACT?

Thought that blogging leads only to more blogging, languishing in the blogosphere, mired amidst bloggers and bloggerettes and eventually requiring bloggerectomies?

Just read this New Yorker piece about the influx of bloggers booking into print publishing, and you’ll see that sometimes the shortest point between a writer and a book contract is a straight blog.

So, I present the top 5 reasons why Katie Lee from ICM should check out My Urban Kvetch as an introduction to the world of Esther:

5) Witty written words work welcome wonders on wacky, worthwhile women;
4) Blend of smart writing, Jewish culture, and pop culture yields humorous blog-shaped smoothie that refreshes as it entertains;
3) Peaches-and-cream complexion of blog’s author will look smashing on glossy magazine covers;
2) No pesky full-time job to get in the way of said author’s deadlines and book tour;
and the number one reason:
1) My Urban Kvetch has zero net carbs.

I've written one book (a work for hire) and edited another. It's time for me to write my book, the book that captures me, my sense of humor, my perspectives and experiences.

Katie...have your people call my people. We'll do lunch.
