Sharon Marshall worked on four tabloid newspapers over the course of ten years. Along the way she did and saw some Very Bad Things, and failed - spectacularly - to find love. It was only when she realised that these two things were connected that she finally realised it was time to quit. In her hilarious and eye-opening memoir she reveals what really goes on behind the scenes at a major tabloid newspaper - just how far journalists will go to get a story, and just how far celebrities will go (secretly) to get their name in the headlines. In the tradition of Hotel Babylon and City Boy, TABLOID GIRL is a smart, funny, revealing look into a fascinating world.
