Chick Lit > About Us :: Terms and Conditions About Us

Chicklit is an online women's lifestyle magazine. It was founded and is owned by www.doyourownpr.com owner Paula Gardner.

It started in 2002 with a celebration of what would have been at the time "pure chicklit". But as the owners and writers for the site have matured, so have the authors, and pure chicklit, as it was then, has changed so much that we now want to celebrate women's writings and women's lives, per se, whether they fall into the traditional "chicklit" category or not.

Reviews
