The Rival Copywriter

Mattie French knows how to sell a story, and that talent won her a copywriting job at a scrappy independent advertising agency where a promotion is finally within reach.

Campbell Porter, a senior copywriter at Chicago’s slickest firm, has been the obstacle in her path since they interned together, gifted, self-assured, and always one room away.

When their agencies go head-to-head for a luxury resort account, Mattie intends to beat him on the road and prove she is the better writer.

Four weeks of travel for the pitch put the rivals on the same itinerary, and competition slowly gives way to an unguarded look at each other’s private wounds.

As the final presentation approaches, Mattie can no longer pretend that five years of rivalry tell the whole story of who they are to each other.
