Description

WINNER OF THE 2015 GOLD INKY AWARD

If you loved The Devil Wears Prada, you'll dive right into The Intern.
-- Lauren Sams, author of Crazy, Busy, Guilty and She's Having Her Baby

Josie Browning dreams of having it all.

A perfect academic record, an amazing journalism career - and for her crush to realise she exists. The only problem? Josie can't stop embarrassing her little sister or her best friend, let alone herself.

Josie's luck changes when she lands an internship at Sash magazine. A coveted columnist job is up for grabs, but Josie quickly learns making her mark will be far from easy, especially under the reign of editor Rae Swanson.

From the lows of photocopying and coffee-fetching, to the highs of celebrities, beauty products and by-lines, this is one internship Josie will never forget.

Totally fresh and funny, this debut novel from media insider Gabrielle Tozer reveals what's really behind the seeming glamour of the magazine industry.

PRAISE FOR The Intern:

The gloss, the glamour ... the treachery! Tozer nails the bittersweet world of women's magazines in this sassy coming-of-age story. -- Jessica Parry, Cosmopolitan magazine

If you loved The Devil Wears Prada, I have a sneaking suspicion you'll dive right into The Intern. I loved this fun, cheeky read, as well as the genuine heart at its core. -- Lauren Sams, author of Crazy, Busy, Guilty and She's Having Her Baby

The Intern is a page turner that left me wanting more of Tozer's work. -- JJ McConnachie, NZ Booklovers
