Eed To To Know All About The Toothbrush

'Sex and fb - Monopensieri a single at the time of Facebook' Maria Francesca Rotondaro

For lovers of chick lit book is definitely a must these days Sex and fb - Mon opensieri a single at the time of the journalist Facebook Maria Francesca Rotondaro .
The book, edited by Giulio Perrone (123 pp., 9 €) speaks of singletudine (and not "zitellaggine" as someone still stubbornly call it, at least for women). He does so irreverent and most of all fun analyzing the various nuances. Obviously could not miss a group on Facebook ( this link , subscribe), which is much later and already has thousands of subscribers. We reproduce below the presentation and understand that it is a book where most of the girls (especially the singles, but not only) can recognize and identify with the nice author.

"Even Carrie Bradshaw is married to Mr. Big and you? How can someone like you can not find a boyfriend? "(Or worse: a husband). Ritual question. Embè: sono single. Perché non è più solo una questione di scelte (proprie o subite). Non basta la fine di un rapporto: essere mollate o mollare. Non è sufficiente che sulla nostra carta d’identità ci sia impresso: “stato libero” . Una donna diventa single quando un “cavo coassiale” e “un pacco svedese” irrompono nella sua vita (senza un partner). Una vita da single ma non da “scoppiate” solitarie (ci sono pur sempre gli amici e le amiche!). Siete mai ri maste con un rubinetto in mano? Vi capita di nutrirvi in piedi o davanti alla tv? Dormite a braccia larghe nel vostro letto a due piazze (e non osate chiamarlo matrimoniale)? Vi succede che ascoltiate il silenzio (ma meglio il silenzio da single che quello di coppia)? Vi ha nno mai chiesto di anticipare le ferie o posticipare il rientro a casa dal lavoro (perché tanto non c’è nessuno che vi aspetta)? Festeggiate san Faustino (il protettore dei single)? Allora queste pagine fanno per voi. Tra pranzi monodose, superstizioni (toccati il naso altrimenti non ti sposi) e uomini che hanno paura di impegnarsi (neanche fossimo le protagoniste di un film di Dario Argento) scopriamo che la nostra vita da single non è sempre rose e fiori (soprattutto fiori d’arancio). Ma basta girare la medaglia to see the positive side .

Interview with Erica Vagliengo, author of 'I want to write for Vanity Fair' When Sophie

I want to write for Vanity Fair is one of the first chick lit novels in we talked about in this blog, when it had not yet been published. Yes, because the project starring Emma Travet , the character created by Erica Vagliengo (left in photo by Massimo Milanese) , it is much more than just a book and come to New York! Here's what the author says in this interview I did with her.

- Erica, your journey in search of a publishing house is very attractive. It is true that you started to promote the book even before you finish it?
Yes, very true! Will reveal an interesting detail ... when I open myspace ( www.myspacecom.emmat_vanity ) to test my character, in June 2007, had assets of only the first two chapters, I had just published on the Internet. Only after the first positive feedback I decided to dedicate the first tr and weeks of September to write the whole book ...

- That link is Travet between you and Emma? You are the same person or you are a character different from you? How autobiographical is your book?
not tell because there is never a autobiographical in my book ... Emma and I have an affinity, of course, but we are different, even for the age (she is 27 years old, I saw 33). The readers and those who follow me on fb (emma Travet) and on the blog, be able to find out ...

- You are an example of how one should really believe in what you do and never give up. Tell us how you used the Internet to promote your book and your creations.
In June 2007 I created a myspace to promote the project emmat (novel, merchandising, promotion of emmat worldwide with pictures of people who are photographed with the stickers and pins). I thought it would not be enough, as the daughter of anyone, send the manuscript to publishing houses (thirty-three, to be precise). I should strive to stand out from the crowd of aspiring writers. Thus was born my project, an innovative example of self marketing applied to the promotion of a book not yet written and a character who has lived before on the internet and then drops on the pages of a novel real. It all started with me, however, si è trasformato da subito in un working progress al quale hanno partecipato spontaneamente creativi, giornalisti, gente di settore, amici che hanno creduto nelle potenzialità del progetto e hanno collaborato (e stanno collaborando) con me per promuoverlo.

- Emma Travet è un'appassionata di vintage, anche lei a volte si fa prendere dallo shopping compulsivo come la protagonista dei romanzi di Sophie Kinsella. È molto facile identificarsi con lei e la lettura del libro è piacevole proprio perché il personaggio trascina la lettrice nel suo mondo. Come hai costruito i personaggi e le vicende del tuo libro?
Prendendo spunto da vicende my real and my friend and novel a bit '.

- The promotion is going very well, even Vanity Fair has devoted a paragraph to you. Merit is the only publishing house or did you put your?
is going to be modest, but the credit is first and foremost my why I started the whole "thing", then the people I met along my path and that gave me confidence and, of course, the publisher illuminated Massimo Ghinolfi Memory ( www.memori.it ) that I published at the end of November and I took the press office, Isabella Borghese, who is working remarkably well in bringing u Scire the news in newspapers and on radio.
Returning to the promotion, I explain how I organized: in the virtual exploiting the full potential of myspace, fb and blogs, updated constantly.

In reality, through the first three presentations: a Pinerolo (launch party for my book, sponsored entirely by Merk's Bar Tiffany), Torino (Café Royal, presentation for journalists), Torre Pellice (Claudiana library) in Rome, Altroquando Library, the central Via del Governo Vecchio, presented by writer and journalist Joan Speech Cinzia Leone. After, that is right now: going to stay on the internet, following the press office, leading directly to the book to several journalists / and doing interviews on radio and TV ... In the near future there will be: the presentation in Milan of the book, Thursday, March 18, at 18 at a beautiful store that sells pieces of designer, fashion designers emerging in the heart of the creative, which is called ... 18:00 ! ( www.le18.it ). I will be presented by Valentina Crepax (journalist / writer) and Daniela Fedi (fashion journalist, critic and expert in costume). Then, in late April, will host the International Festival of Journalism in Perugia in May at the Book Fair and Maggiolibri in Pinerolo, and in June with my novel New York, where I'm going to look for a literary agent to help me to enter the American market


- Do you write a sequel to I want to write for Vanity Fair ? Do you have other plans?
Yes, I'm writing the new ideas on post-it yellow, scattered 'everywhere. If you receive any proposal for the sequel, I think I could seriously work from September onwards, because now I'm too busy with the promotion. On the other progetti, rimando alla domanda sopra. Ti lascio, però, con un’anteprima sul seguito… un capitolo sarà ambientato a New York e un altro a Sarajevo .

Interview with Elena De Paoli, author of "How can I make it"

Elena De Paoli is a young writer who recently made his debut with his novel How can I make it, edited by Naftasia (found here ). We have already presented the book (this link), now trying to learn more through this interview and Elena.

- Tell me how did your book, what inspired you as you Constr uito the story and characters.
attend the final year of the Faculty of Modern Letters . This forces me to read every day a great deal of literary material of all kinds. This forced me to read led to the need to escape the imagination during the breaks between one examination to another. My book is born in one of those moments when I needed a simple story, moving, based on events and thoughts that many women experience daily. The speeches that entertain with my co
mpagne study were to lay the basic key points of the novel, such as difficulties in finding a permanent job, nepotism, the desire to find work that satisfies us, but while advancing our family life. I plugged in the plot clichés typical of the Italian comedy, as the stereotype of the stuffy mother, the friend who tries to impose itself, i maschilisti che si credono più furbi della massa.

- Come hai cercato la casa edit rice? Hai avuto molti problemi nel trovarla?
Quando ormai il romanzo era quasi finito e ho deciso di tentare la strada della pubblicazione, non avendo alcuna esperienza precedente, mi sono affidata a internet . Ho trovato un
a casa editrice che nel sito annunciava la ricerca di materiale per una nuova collana dedicata al genere a cui appartiene il mio libro. Ho tentato la sorte e inviato il manoscritto. Quattro mesi dopo sono stata contattata per telefono.

- La tua casa editrice you are helping to promote and you have to do everything alone?
is a small publishing house, then I pledge myself to seek opportunities to promote the book , but they find ways to circulate the text.


- The chick lit genre is your favorite? How did you decide to write a book that fell into this genre?
generally do not have a 'favorite', I chose chick lit because it was a time in my life when I was full of sarcasm and a desire to outside. As I said, as a university student, are often forced to read and reread texts that do not feel the slightest interest, which leads me to try reading more disengaged my free time, and chick lit is ideal because it allows both to enjoy it to vent those little irreverent thoughts that arise in the minds of all who are forced to do something they hate.


- What is writing for you?
is my personal way of expressing myself. They are shy and introverted nature , then struggled in the exterior of my thoughts to other people and do not look very friendly. The writing strikes my inability to communicate. I believe that all shy people find solace in writing. When we know something we do not ask, read. And when we communicate,
e are. We are no less enjoyable instead of a person who chats easily with everyone of all, we just chose another channel of expression.

- What are your favorite authors? Who inspires you?
In chick lit books I really like Sophie Kinsella , especially the book titled 'The Queen of the house', and also Helen Fielding. But I can not say I inspired any of them to write my book. Each writer deals with a different theme, with the only common point of trying to instill in their style the freshness that characterizes the genre. So far I have been told that my way of writing reminiscent of Fabio Flight ; I trust these rumors because I never read his books.


- Any other projects or for now just think the promotion of your first book?
During this time I am dedicated to promoting the book, but I started working on a couple of other texts. Not just chick lit, I groped other ways. I write in a very moody, so I do not always need to write as the ease in 'How I can do it', and the best way to recreate it and put everything else that has nothing to do with chick lit.
