Summary
• A Bridget Jones story for the dating-app-obsessed millennial generation, Match Made in Manhattan chronicles the awkward, romantic, and cringe-worthy struggles of trying to find “The One” in the digital dating age. • This debut novel is a fast-paced, episodic contemporary women's fiction story that follows the ups and downs of former serial monogamist Alison as she signs up for every dating app out there and meets dozens of captivating and quirky New York men as she struggles to find her perfect match, perfect for fans of The Bachelorette. • With witty dialogue and hilarious antics in the vein of Jennifer Weiner’s Good in Bed and a refreshing sub-theme of strong female friendships a la Rachel Bertsche’s MWF Seeking BFF, this hilarious, all-too-realistic novel will have readers laughing and crying all the way to its sweet ending. • In collaboration with a professional film editor and producer, a YouTube series based on the novel is currently in development (in the vein of Broad City). It is tentatively titled “unMatched” and can be timed to launch with the publication of the book. • The author lives in New York City, is a freelance copyeditor for Alloy Entertainment, and is a member of the Yale Alumna Mom’s club (which has a network of 16,000+ members) and can leverage these contacts to help promote the book.
