Techbitch

Description

With humour, savvy and grace, Techbitch is The Devil Wears Prada for the digital age When Imogen Tate returns from a sabbatical to her post as editor-in-chief of Glossy magazine, she finds her former assistant Eve Morton sitting comfortably in her very own office. Fresh out of Harvard Business School, Eve plans to overhaul Glossy completely, with herself at the helm. Imogen may have Calvin Klein and Diane Von Furstenberg on speed dial, but she can't tell a Tweet from an Instagram snap and isn't sure how an app differs from a website. Imogen's livelihood is in danger and if she wants to keep her job, she has to get on the tech bandwagon, fast.

Lucy Sykes moved from London to New York City in 1997 and took the fashion world by storm. She was Fashion Director at Marie Claire magazine for six years and, most recently, Fashion Director for renttherunway.com. Jo Piazza is an award-winning journalist, editor, digital content strategist and author. She is the Travel Editor of Yahoo and currently a contributor to the Wall Street Journal and Elle.com.
