What’s it really like when your blog hits the big time and publishers come calling? Mimi Foe moved to the US with a masters degree in literature, failed to get a visa, and turned to stripping to make ends meet. She recorded it all in her beautifully written and often downright filthy blog Mimi in New York, described by the Guardian as “a blonde 26-year-old Cambridge graduate melds with New York’s immigrant community”. The blog quickly caught the attention of publishing insiders, and the book will be out in May 2007.
