Brentwood - Corie Skolnick discusses and signs "America's Most Eligible"

Brentwood Events

Corie Skolnick at Diesel BookstoreDiesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood welcomes author Corie Skolnick to the store to discuss and sign her new novel, America's Most Eligible, on Sunday, May 31st at 3pm.

Athena Cervantes wants to be a writer – a real writer – and that means only one thing to her – she wants to be a great American novelist. Of course this ambition requires an MFA from a prestigious writing  program. Check! And she has to read all the right books. Check, again!  And, most importantly, Athena must write the truth about what she knows. The only problem is, not a single thing she thinks she knows is true.

America’s Most Eligible is a hilarious romp about an ambitious young woman who has come of age in the pretentious world of Southern California. With great humor, Corie Skolnick satirizes “the bad tweed set” of literary academia along with the self-important characters in Hollywood, journalism, self-help psychology, politics, and especially traditional commercial publishing even as the latter languishes in the throes of death at its own hands.

Corie Skolnick is a former psychology instructor and private practice family therapist. Her first novel, ORFAN, was recently optioned for development as a feature length motion picture. America's Most Eligible is her second novel. Copies of the book will be available at the event.
