Press: Chick lit gives birth to mom lit - HC

(Houston Chronicle) "Stacy Creamer, the editor of the The Devil Wears Prada, a chick-lit milestone, and of the forthcoming Momzillas, said that based on submissions she receives, there's 'a huge rise in the amount of books by stay-at-home moms writing fiction and nonfiction about that experience.'

Women have always written about motherhood, of course. Toni Morrison's Beloved, Sue Miller's The Good Mother and Mary McCarthy's The Group are a few classic examples. But many of the books described as mom lit seem indebted to the themes and tone of chick lit."
