Georgia Clark author of 'The Regulars' speaks on 'Writing a Body Positive Novel'
““The Regulars is a saucy, sexy story that’s one part cautionary tale, one part social commentary, and one part screamingly hilarious comedy. Deceptively simple, it’s one of the most original books I’ve read in years.
You’ll eat this one up!”

Georgia Clark, author of The Regulars has shared her views on writing a body positive novel:
A Dorian Grey for the Girls generation, perfect for fans of Parks and Rec, Broad City, Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham, The Regulars is published on 11th August 2016 in hardback by Simon & Schuster.
The Book:
Best friends Evie, Krista and Willow are just trying to make it through their mid-twenties in New York. They're regular girls with typical quarter life crises: making it up the corporate ladder, making sense of online dating, and making rent.
Until they come across Pretty, a magic tincture that makes them, well ...gorgeous. Like, supermodelgorgeous. With a single drop, each young woman gets the gift of jaw-dropping beauty for one week, presenting them with unimaginable opportunities to make their biggest fantasies come true.
But there's a dark side to Pretty, too, and as the gloss fades for these modern-day Cinderellas, there's just one question left: What would you sacrifice to be Pretty?
