Paris blogger pens book deal
The Independent reports that the Paris-based blogger Catherine Sanderson, better known online as La Petite Anglaise, has signed a six-figure book deal and is in discussions about a film of her life as a hassled ex-patriate with a colourful love life.
It is a remarkable turnaround in the fortunes of Ms Sanderson, who 10 months ago found herself unemployed with a young daughter and a hobby which resulted in her being sacked for "gross misconduct". As news of her dismissal last April spread online, daily visits to the petiteanglaise.com blog rose from 3,000 to 30,000. Amid a welter of publicity on both sides of the Channel, an auction resulted in Penguin signing a two-book deal for a "mid-six-figure sum". The first book, based on how she met "Mr Frog", her former French partner and the father of "Tadpole", her four-year-old daughter, is due to be published in January.
