June 23, 2005: Sneak Preview Party for GIRLY at Lolita!
"Merrick has overturned the log of pop-culture-driven fare to uncover a riot of women's voices--writhing, colorful, and alive."

"Yes, editor Elizabeth Merrick is female, and the short stories she's collected are written by women, but
marketplace be damned, This Is Not Chick Lit (Random House)."
— Vanity Fair HOT TYPE
"This Is Not Chick Lit is important not only for its content, but for its title. I'll know we're getting somewhere when equally talented male writers feel they have to separate themselves from the endless stream of fiction glorifying war, hunting and sports by naming an anthology This Is Not a Guy Thing."
