my writing has been shoehorned into a place that' s not right for it ,
she said this morning .
it is commercial fiction, it is not literary, but the real issue i have is that it has been completely defined as women' s fiction … yes it is page turning, no it' s not war and peace. but it shouldn' t be portrayed as chick lit .
i' m not averse to the term chick lit ,
said courtney ,
but i don' t think that' s what my book is. the implication with chick lit is that it' s about a girl wanting to meet the man of her dreams. [ my books ] are about social issues – this time about a woman in a lads' mag environment and the impact of media on society, and feminism .
speaking at the launch party, courtney also pointed to wh smith' s recently reported decision to drop the
women' s fiction
label from its point of sale after two women complained about the
condescending
practice. they were told by head of fiction jackie wing that
this might not be the most suitable reference for our customers
and that it would be removed from future shelf labelling .
