Supreme Chick Lit

Dahlia Lithwick is no stranger to deadlines and drama. She’s about to cover her 10th Supreme Court term for Slate.com, where she is senior editor. Dahlia writes about complicated storylines, sharp dialogue, and memorable characters. She chronicles battles being waged, won, lost and then entrenched in the American system of justice.

Dahlia Lithwick had never taken to her keyboard to invent characters, plots and scenes, until now. Dahlia is trying her hand at what’s been called the fast-food of fiction: chick lit or mommy lit. She’s spending the month of September writing a story called Saving Face. It comes out in installments, a chapter every few days, and she’s writing it with the help of her readers and followers on Facebook and Twitter.
