LLab with Vintage Books - Undiscovered Gyrl: Book Publicity 2.0

Ladies Lotto LLab brings you an exclusive and covetable opportunity to collaborate with Random House imprint Vintage Books on their latest project, UNDISCOVERED GYRL, a trade paperback original by Allison Burnett that will be published this August 11, 2009.

You’ll be involved with the viral marketing of the project from start to finish. Your journey will begin when you read the manuscript and end when the book is published and launched in August.

Besides a good read, what you’ll get in return – if you attend the LLab and corresponding workshops -- is immeasurable; experience at one of the most respected publishing houses in the world. What we’re doing is unprecedented and your participation will be a valuable part of your portfolio.

Sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime? You’re interested and completely psyched? Just follow the instructions below and we’ll get you on your way.
  1. Email UNDISCOVERED GYRL LLab coordinator, Dylana Dillon your full name and mailing address NO LATER THAN 3 pm, Sunday, 5.3.09. The email serves as your RSVP. Sorry, no P.O. boxes.
  2. Read the manuscript before the LLab.
  3. Attend the LLab on May 12th. You’re not obligated to attend all the corresponding workshops after the LLab but you won’t receive credit.
Ladies, don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity. Also, anyone who posts an advance review of UNDISCOVERED GYRL online gets a free finished copy!

This amazing opportunity was facilitated by LLNY member and Random House Publicity Manager, Lisa Weinert.

Countdown to 11/4 - #6 Drawing the Line

Zina Saunders has been covering the 2008 presidential election using a keen eye for detail and a steady hand. Her two-dimensional interpretations of the election news is brought to life by the vivid palate she uses; coupled with a wry sense of humor. Her illustrations channel Rockwell-esque Americana (he created Rosie the Riveter) for the harsh times we live in.


"And then, he taxed all your money and gave it away to the poor!"


In Zina's 15 year career as a writer and illustrator she's contributed to periodicals including The Utne Reader, The Wall Street Journal and The Progressive; to name a few. Besides bringing John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin to life on paper, she has drawn pictures of the famous and not so famous. Also, she has illustrated books for Simon & Schuster, Random House and Scholastic.
