MARCH 2006
Shanna
Swendson presented a
workshop on
“Chick Lit: Hot off
the Runway or in the Bargain Bin?”
After bursting onto the scene around the turn of the century, the chick
lit genre has boomed, evolved and now seems to be settling into the
growing pains of a maturing genre. It may be more challenging than ever
to break into this market, but it also may be the chance for authors to
really explore their creativity and express their inner voice.
Chick lit author Shanna Swendson will discuss the state of the chick lit
market, the trends that may be played out, and the core elements that
make for a winning chick lit novel in any market.
Shanna Swendson has written both romance (under the pen name Samantha
Carter) and chick lit and currently is best known for the critically
acclaimed chick lit fantasy series that began with ENCHANTED, INC.
in 2005 and continues with ONCE UPON STILETTOS in 2006. She also
contributed an essay on Jane Austen as chick lit author to the book
Flirting With Pride and Prejudice.
