Who
among us doesn't like to kvetch? And who especially doesn't love
a gossipy, insidery tale of media mismanagement and office woe? Welcome to the
Bitch Box, where we'll regularly be serving you highly caffeinated shots of
Schadenfreude to help get you through your day.
Histrionic big-shot editor cried in your lap? Publisher fired
you by email? Famous novelist seen streaking through the park? It's time to
share with the group!
Mice plaguing your office? Perv peed in the the coffee? Phone
drama with the fact-checker? Tell us all about it. We want to know what's been
amusing or irking you — from stories of just plain bad days to the most
colossal calamities.
Send your stories to bitchbox@mediabistro.com,
and keep your entries at about 300 to 600 words. To be considered, you must
include your name and daytime telephone number, even if you want your name withheld.
We'll publish the best, er, worst of your stories on a regular basis.
If this turns out to be a success, we may eventually fashion some sort of prize
for the best entries.
