'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.

Book 2
-- Susan Whelan, Kids' Book Review
New job. New boyfriend. New me.
Things are looking up for Josie Browning. Her boyfriend, James, is crazy about her, and she's scored a writing job at indi.
Now the pressure is on for Josie to prove she's got what it takes to help plan indi's launch. Plus, she's battling with flatmates, frenemies and confusing feelings for travel writer Alex.
High on the perks at indi, Josie's doing a pretty good job of faking her way in the industry - even though she still hasn't mastered her hair straightener. But when Josie is invited to a media junket, she accidentally sets off a string of lies that threaten to ruin her reputation, love life and career forever.
The hilarious and engaging sequel to Gabrielle Tozer's award-winning debut novel The Intern.
