A lady's guide to selling out : a novel
(Book)

"Casey Pendergast is losing her way. Once a book-loving English major, Casey lands a job at a top ad agency that highly values her ability to tell a good story. Her best friend thinks shes a sellout, but Casey tells herself that shes just paying the bills--and she cant help that she has champagne taste. When her hard-to-please boss assigns her to a top-secret campaign that pairs literary authors with corporations hungry for upmarket cachet, Casey is both excited and skeptical. But as she crisscrosses America, wooing her former idols, shes shocked at how quickly they compromise their integrity: A short-story writer leaves academia to craft campaigns for a plus-size clothing chain, a reclusive nature writer signs away her lifes work to a manufacturer of granola bars. When she falls in love with one of her authors, Casey can no longer ignore her own nagging doubts about the human cost of her success. By the time the years biggest book festival rolls around in Las Vegas, it will take every ounce of Caseys moxie to undo the damage--and, hopefully, save her own soul" --,Provided by publisher.
