I’m about to do something most authors, agents, and publishers would strongly advise against.

I wrote 60,927 words of a novel…
And I’m leaking it on Substack before it’s finished.

Unedited.
Incomplete.
And in real time.

This isn’t a memoir.
But it is inspired by real stories, real behavior, and what actually happened behind the scenes of the fashion industry in the late ’90s.

Back when access was controlled.
Influence was earned.
And most of what mattered was never meant to be said out loud.

I didn’t want to finish this in a vacuum.
And I definitely didn’t want to wait two years to publish it the traditional way.

So I’m doing it differently.

I’m releasing Off the Record: Secrets of a 90s Fashion Insider in New York on Substack, one drop every Wednesday.

No filter.

No gatekeepers.

No waiting.

When we reach the end of what’s been written, your reactions will help shape what comes next.

If you’ve followed my career, you know this isn’t the first time I’ve played with format. From creating DKNY PR GIRL before “influencer” was even a job, to building my career around storytelling and brand voice, I’ve always believed the work comes first. The structure follows.

This feels like that again.
