On another note: That empty "Champagne" bottle Emma Roberts stole and keeps in her house? That actually is Daniel Day Lewis, transformed, as usual, by his brilliant acting. Haven't you been wondering where he went?

I am a big big BIG fan of Abraham & Chase!

So I'm gonna quote you: "All that cheerleading and coddling and fixing and zhuzhing that takes writing from meh to great? Please allow us to introduce Abraham & Chase, a new biz launched by the black-belt-level editors Laurie Abraham and Lisa Chase, a pair of work wives whose love has lasted even longer than your Spreaditors’. Between them, L&L have toiled at the Atlantic, New York, the Economist, Premiere, Outside, Wired, the New York Observer, Mirabella, and Elle (where we met them—and each other). They’ve edited everyone from your favorite TV shrink, Orna Guralnik, to E. Jean Carroll, Nora Ephron, Paul Ford, Rivka Galchen, Daphne Merkin, Peggy Orenstein, Akhil Sharma, Salamishah Tillet, Rebecca Traister, and Amy Wallace. They’ve worked on books, magazines, speechwriting, you name it². They have been friends and mentors to both of your Spreaditors. And now they’re teaming up to offer their prodigious editing skills to publishers, writers, academics, agents—anyone who needs help developing a new project or taking a stuck one over the finish line. If you can get on their dance card, you’ll be one lucky ducky (apologies for the industryspeak). Here’s how to get in touch."
