Smart, funny ‘A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out’ includes Brooklyn-based chapter
Brooklyn BookBeat
“Brooklyn women wore black T-shirts and scuffed shoes and unwashed hair and somehow looked impossibly chic. I, in contrast, felt like a Carrie impersonator from Omaha on the ‘Sex and the City’ bus tour.” — Chapter 6 of “A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out”
The workplace drama in Sally Franson’s debut novel “A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out” is loosely inspired by Franson’s personal experience as an intern at Daily Candy at the height of its popularity in 2005-2006, when the culture was mean, beautiful and glamorous.
