Oh chick lit. Bridget Jones was something but with an oversaturated market for stories that feature women looking for mister right, what's a girl to write about so she can pay for that shoe fetish? Well, Cathy Yardley wrote a book entitled Will Write for Shoes: How to Write a Chick-lit Novel. I honestly didn't think that people needed instruction in this genre... Take a girl who has issues with her self-image and dating. Give her a quirky best friend and two romantic interests. Pick one guy to be the bastard that she almost ends up with and then tie the plot into a neat bow.
Well, if you don't want to buy a book that tells you how to write chick lit, simply consult the Scotsman -- their writer asked a bunch of chick lit authors (and one lad lit authors) for advice and passed it along. You're better off saving your money for those shoes anyway.
