Ooh, this just in from Publishers Lunch:
Will book publishing finally get the comic portrayal it deserves? Production of a CBS pilot is moving ahead for agent Betsy Lerner's sister Gail Lerner's sit-com "Open Books." Lerner, who has been co-executive producer on Ugly Betty, said last fall that "publishing is a lot like sitcoms. Although both are supposedly dying, that only makes people more passionate about creating the next great novel or show."
Tony winner Laura Benanti has been cast as the lead, a book editor at a small New York publishing house, and Aisha Tyler has just joined the cast as her best friend. Scott Foley will have a standing guest star role as "a charismatic free-spirited writer who once had a fling" with Benanti's character.
Wait...is this fiction or non-fiction? (evil snarky chortle)
