Chick Lit Quotes

Chick lit was amazing, and I was thrilled to be part of it Picture Quote #1

What bothered me most about chick lit, frankly, was how the term was used to dismiss a huge chunk of the bookstore as silly, girlish prattle Picture Quote #1

I would love it if my book was considered chick-lit or a beach read. That would be great. People would buy my book Picture Quote #1

I think when it comes to women who write or who fancy ourselves ‘hip downtown literati’, there is a certain contempt for being overly sexual or really looking for boyfriends. We tend to be marginalized as some ‘Sex and The City’ Carrie Bradshaw chick-lit dummies who just want shoes and a ring Picture Quote #1

If chick-lit really is taking a commercial battering, I’d suggest it’s because the marketing has been done to death. Covering everything in girlie pink and putting chocolate in the title may once have been a clever Pavlovian device but now makes readers feel a bit sick Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, we started writing chick-lit when it was just becoming a crowded marketplace, and now the same thing is happening with YA. It really used to just be one shelf at the library - Nancy Drew and Judy Blume Picture Quote #1

I like a good fun chick-lit book as much as I like historical fiction, mysteries, or biographies, I like to be well-rounded! Picture Quote #1

Chick-lit may be staggering on its heels, but women’s fiction is alive and kicking Picture Quote #1

If I’m desperate, I’ll read anything. But even when I can be choosy, I still have no hard-and-fast rules. I have rules about what I won’t read, rather than what I will. No science fiction, no romance, no chick lit. Although even these rules can be broken Picture Quote #1

I say, ‘I write romance, women’s fiction, chick lit.’ I think it all fits very comfortably under the same umbrella. Basically, I write books for women - books about relationships: books that make you laugh and sometimes make you cry a little Picture Quote #1

For me, ‘Bookends’ marks the start of my foray into commercial fiction, away from what has always been thought of as more traditional chick lit - single girl in the city trips around in Manolos looking for Mr. Right Picture Quote #1

I don’t read ‘chick lit,’ fantasy or science fiction but I’ll give any book a chance if it’s lying there and I’ve got half an hour to kill Picture Quote #1

I think that there’s a lot of guys out there that want to read the equivalent of chick lit, but really there’s not being much written for them Picture Quote #1

I’ve been typed as historical fiction, historical women’s fiction, historical mystery, historical chick lit, historical romance - all for the same book Picture Quote #1

It’s like if a young woman writes it, then it’s chick lit. We don’t care if she’s slaying vampires or working as a nanny or living in Philadelphia. It’s chick lit, so who cares? You know what we call what men write? Books Picture Quote #1

If you write chick lit, and if you’re a New Yorker, and if your book becomes the topic of pop-culture fascination, the paper might make dismissive and ignorant mention of your book. If you write romance, forget about it. You’ll be lucky if they spell your name right on the bestseller list Picture Quote #1

Do I mind being called a chick-lit writer? Well, it’s not the worst thing that could happen Picture Quote #1

Much-derided chick lit, chick flicks, and chick magazines have left ambitious women in a bind. Why is it that I, a young woman, can read ‘GQ,’ enjoy ‘Fight Club,’ and subscribe to ‘Thrillist,’ while the idea of a guy doing the same with ‘Glamour,’ 27 Dresses’ and ‘Daily Candy’ is nearly unheard of? Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone sits down and thinks, ‘I know, I’ll be a chick-lit writer.’ You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, ‘Oh, that’s chick-lit.’ You say, ‘Okay.’ But it’s not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand Picture Quote #1

I always thought ‘chick lit’ meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it’s not the ideal term; when I’m asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that’s what I feel they are. But I’m quite pragmatic Picture Quote #1

I’ve always read broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, historical, dystopian, nonfiction, memoir. I’ve even read Westerns. I prefer female protagonists Picture Quote #1

I think that there’s a lot of guys out there that want to read the equivalent of chick lit, but really there’s not being much written for them Picture Quote #1

Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It’s a very comforting genre, and it’s the first time our generation has had a voice. It’s a very important genre for all of those reasons Picture Quote #1

I still write. I’d love to write more trashy chick-lit. At the moment, I just re-write my own lines, which probably annoys most directors - though, thankfully not Adam Brooks! Picture Quote #1

The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation Picture Quote #1
