Eighteen renowned authors weigh in with the best of chick-lit proving that this genre deserves as much, or more, respect as any other. In addition to their story, each author elaborates on her feelings about the chick-lit label, and recommends literary fiction writers that have inspired them.

What People Are Saying
"This IS Chick-Lit is a wonderful compilation of talented and diverse authors, such as Raelynn Hillhouse, Harley Jane Kozak, Cara Lockwood, Rachel Pine, Jennifer Coburn, and Lauren Baratz-Logsted.
"This is a long overdue and smart answer to the naysayers of an often maligned genre. Funny, a little edgy, thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining. Lots of interesting and eye-opening stuff for clever guys who want to see how the other half thinks." ~ Nelson DeMille
