Blind Submission



Blind Submission by Debra Ginsberg
Adult Fiction - Main Level – GINSBERG


Angel Robinson is a voracious reader. Her new job at the Lucy Fiamma Literary Agency allows her to read many of the submissions coming in. As it turns out, Angel has a knack for editing and picking the next big bestseller, too. One particular manuscript catches Angel's attention: Blind Submission. It is set in a literary agency, which peaks her interest immediately. The author wishes to remain anonymous, so Angel plays along. She edits each chapter submitted, then emails it back to Anonymous. The story starts to become more and more familiar, more coincidental; more like Angel's own life. She can't figure out if Anonymous is her boyfriend, who is angry that Angel won't use her new position to help him get published, or a new author they signed who seems a bit infatuated with her.

This is a light, easy read that is fun to watch unfold. Who is writing Blind Submission? What will happen when the murder chapter, promised by the author, is submitted? Of course, Lucy Fiamma herself is a difficult person to work for, in a "Devil Wears Prada" sort of way. This is a great weekend or vacation read!
