John Searles, SINGLE GIRLS
from Totally Booked with Zibby
John Searles was an editor at Cosmopolitan back in the Helen Gurley Brown days. That’s why he’s the perfect person to have written Single Girls, this juicy, page-turning read. John and I spoke about his own personal history of loss and how it related to Helen’s past, the evolution of magazines, why he was in the mood to deviate from his typical darker fiction, and how important coworkers really are. Plus, of course, Helen Gurley Brown! After our interview, I was invited to a very swanky launch party at Love Shack Fancy. They even gave me a dress which made me the coolest mom to my daughters who are rarely impressed these days! So an extra special thank you to John! ********* A story for the messy middle. Zibby's essay collection Between Chapters is out now! Love to listen? She narrated the audiobook. Listen on Spotify here. Listen on Apple here.
