BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WHISH FOR

Gemma Crisp

A fast-paced, fun debut novel set in the chaotic and glamorous world of women’s magazines.
Everything seems to be going right for Nina – hot boyfriend, a sparkling social life and a dream job at a leading women’s magazine. Surely nothing could possibly spoil this perfect picture? When Nina Morey got her perfectly pedicured toe on the first rung of the magazine publishing ladder she couldn't believe her luck. Then, she landed the hottest man in town AND her best friend relocated from the other side of the world to be closer to her. Nina's life had suddenly turned from dull to dream come true. Soon she was climbing the magazine ladder, securing dream job after dream job. Her relationship was going from strength to strength and she had her very best friend to drink copious amounts of cocktails with. Life was good. What could possibly go wrong? Strap on your tallest heels for a deliciously fast-paced peek inside the world of women’s magazines. Gemma Crisp developed her love of books and magazines while growing up on a sheep farm in the middle of Tasmania in the prehistoric days before the internet. It wasn't until she hit the bright lights of London some years later that she realised she could get paid to write about mascara, threesomes and celebrities (not necessarily in that order!). After acing her first magazine internship, thanks to being a photocopying and coffee-fetching ninja, Gemma moved to Sydney and has spent the last 12 years working for some of Australia's glossiest magazines, including New Woman, Girlfriend, OK!, Cosmopolitan Bride and NW. She popped her editorship cherry at teen bible DOLLY and is currently the editor of the iconic title, CLEO, where she spends her days fending off wannabe Eligible Bachelors, wrangling celebrity publicists, attempting to craft the perfect coverline and trying not to buy any more shoes.
