Just a sampling of the new reports: a new book from Dirty Girls Social Club author Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, the US sale for DIZZY, more chick lit, a judge’s novel, a TV option for Meg Wolitzer (writing under her pseudonym), a film option for Tim Gautreaux, psychoanalyzing President Bush, another children’s trilogy, and still plenty more — […]
