NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Sally Koslow was asked to step aside when Rosie O’Donnell took over the reigns of the much beloved McCall’s. The rest, as they say, is magazine history. But now the story has reared its head again in Koslow’s hilariously delicious first novel: Little Pink Slips.
Magnolia Gold leads off this novel as the Editor of Lady Magazine until her dreams of a redesigned Lady are dashed when crass, unorthodox, and often ill-mannered Bebe Blake takes over to turn Lady into Bebe. What ensues is a dishy, inside look at what really goes on behind the closed doors of a magazine and maybe even a little tidbit or two of what happened when Rosie took over McCall’s. Sweet revenge? Koslow says no, but we have to wonder….

About the Book: Magnolia Gold, the highly paid editor in chief of Lady magazine. With a corner office, a designer wardrobe, and dozens of loyal employees, Magnolia has been hired to update the dowager of women's magazines. She's on her way to giving Lady a face-lift when she is ignominiously replaced by Bebe Blake, a brash television personality who remakes the magazine in her own hilariously inappropriate image. Shunted off to the darkest corners of executive purgatory, Magnolia seethes from the sidelines as Bebe turns her beloved, once-profitable Lady into a sideshow. Inspired by real-life events, Little Pink Slips is about the fall, rise, and sweet revenge of a woman who witnesses corporate shenanigans at their most flagrant. Filled with gossipy revelations about celebrity obsession and behind-the-scenes details of the media business in all its malfeasant glory, this novel is delicious, can't-stop-reading fun.
