Application to Ghostwrite Paige DeSorbo's Eventual Book
Brian Moylan does not need this as much as I do.
Subject: Job application
Dear Ms. DeSorbo,
I am currently an employee of Gawker.com (recently relaunched) writing to inquire about the possibility of ghostwriting your book, Outfit Deets. I understand plans for this book have not yet emerged, but I am not someone who is deterred by the absence of an opportunity. I am someone who looks to the future and plans ahead to create opportunities for myself. I believe this qualifies me excellently for the position, as do other attributes such as:
- Writer
- On time
- Has met many deadlines
- Came up with the title Outfit Deets
As a loyal viewer of Summer House, Winter House, and your Instagram stories, I am eager to share my passion and qualifications with the Outfit Deets team at Gallery Books. I have attached an application for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Kelly M. Conaboy, B.A.

Giggly Squad. ASOS. Rent the Runway sponcon. Uses those round brushes to apply makeup because it feels like a spa and uses less product; would never use a sponge. Mom makes lasagna.

Spent part of the pandemic at her parents’ house and part with her now ex-boyfriend Perry, disapproves of Chrissy Teigen’s social media usage, self described as naturally attracted to sociopaths.

Paige’s grand theory of fashion:
Try to find high fashion look-alike items for less but also sometimes you have to splurge.

Yes
Who is the number one man in Paige’s life?:
Her dad
Was Paige wrong to not interfere more in Hannah’s fight with Amanda and Kyle during Summer House’s fifth season:
No, she couldn’t have made anything better; Hannah was OOC; she was right to mind her own business.
Translate a quote from Karl Ove Knausgård’s My Struggle: Book 1 into the voice of Paige DeSorbo:
“I do not want anyone to get close to me, I do not want anyone to see me, and this is the way things have developed: no one gets close and no one sees me.” (Knausgård)
“Okay sorry but let’s be real, ultimately I just want it to be like … who is she? Right? I’m like obsessed.” (DeSorbo)
Would people buy this book:

Enough people?:
