Lauren Conrad Snags Teen Book Series Deal
Brace yourself. The teen fiction series to beat all teen fiction series ever has been contracted (please note: if you were listening to me say this in person, you would detect a high level of sarcasm).
Harper Collins Publishershas acquired all rights to a yet-to-be-written, three-part series of young adult books written by the least annoying chicklet from MTV’s The Hills, aspiring fashion designer (photo shown is for her purse collection) Lauren Conrad.
It’s a smart business move, I suppose, as L.C.’s work will sell well regardless of the quality, but what exactly led to this point? Did some approach Lauren thinking that she would be an ideal candidate for a young author? Has it been a dream of hers that she can pursue now that she has reality fame?
Whatever the reasoning behind it, the first in the L.A. Candy series which tells a story similar to L.C.’s actual life: girl moves to L.A., becomes unexpected reality TV star, and business opportunities. But wait, there’s more … “With her stardom comes wealth, famous friends, fabulous clothes, and romance - as well as the darker realization that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it appears to be.”
Aw, how sweet. It’s like when Britney Spears sang “Lucky” about a pop star that was suffering the negative aspects of fame.
