Write Advice Books for Teen Girls

I'm drooling here. This looks like such a cool opportunity and I am oh so tempted. Orange Avenue books is a packager that spun off to form Zest books where they've produced titles such as Dumped, Decoding Mom, Jeneology and so on. It's advice with a humorous bent aimed at teen girls. I wish books like this had been around when I was growing up. Mom is still an enigma (ahem-cough) years later.

Here's your chance to write an advice book for teens. Details below:

Job Requirements: Orange Avenue, an independent publisher in San Francisco, is looking for a few great writers for the second season of our new line of teen books. We are looking for sharp, funny, and in-the-know writers -- preferably columnists or writers who can write advice-oriented books.

Our books are honest, shoot-from-the-hip, often witty and sarcastic, and always current; they are in mostly small formats, and are filled with great illustrations and design. They address topics like relationships, school, parental woes, fashion, living in dysfucntional families, teen bullying, getting organized, peer pressure, not fitting in, beauty, partying, and basically all things teen. They are really cool books.

We are looking for writers from all over the country. We are most interested in experienced teen-audience magazine writers who have not yet written a book, but we will also consider those who have a published book under their belts. We have some specific titles that we need writers for, and we are looking for new book ideas, as well.
