Imogen has always dreamed of writing for a magazine. Infinite internships later, Imogen dreams of any job. Writing her blog around double shifts at the pub is neither fulfilling her creatively nor paying the bills.

Harri might just be Imogen''s fairy godmotherShe''s moving from the glossy pages of Panache magazine to launch a fierce feminist site, The Know. And she thinks Imogen''s most outrageous sexual content will help generate the clicks she needs.

But neither woman is aware of the crucial thing they have in commonHarri, at the other end of her career, has also been bitten and betrayed by the industry she has given herself to. Will she wake up to the way she''s being exploited before her protégé realises that not everything is copy? Can either woman reconcile their love for work with the fact that work will never love them back? Or is a chaotic rebellion calling...

Hilarious and unflinchingly honest, Careering takes a hard look at the often toxic relationship working women have with their dream jobs.
