Enlisted by megalomaniac publisher Myron Beam, Sibella—junior editor extraordinaire—recounts the trials and tribulations of the San Francisco-based literary darling Hard Rain Publishing all the way from its improbable rise through its seemingly inevitable freefall. The whip smart, wise-cracking, and surprisingly well-read Sibella navigates the mounting eccentricities of the house’s award-winning authors, slices up her oh-so-pretentious colleagues with her razor-sharp wit, and even manages to fish her publisher out of the pub long enough to keep the whole ship afloat, all the while battling her ex-boyfriend’s meteoric success and the feintless infinity of the blank page.
But when her boss acquires the artless and arduous 900-page debut The Adventures of Calypso O’Kelly, their star author Figgy Fontana—possibly, maybe, kinda sorta—dies, and a team of con artists take aim at Myron Beam, it’s up to Sibella, her endlessly outmatched editor in chief, and a former female pornstar—no, really—to return Hard Rain and its hard-boozing, hapless publisher to their former glory.
Part tell all, part mystery, and part coming-of-age novel, Sibella&Sibella is a biting look at the world of publishing from a reluctant witness who pulls no punches with anyone. Least of all herself.
