Don't expect any Devil Wears Prada-esque bashing in Wunderkind, the Jane Pratt fictional roman-a-clef being shopped around by – you guessed it – her former assistant at Jane. Unfortunately, without some severe plot reversals, there's little chance of this one making it to the big screen. Jane Pratt is, after all, painted as a do gooder, not an evil editrix.

Pratt's former assistant Karen Cohen Yampolsky is the scribe behind the "novel," though it's been rumored (and subsequently denied) that Pratt is actually the one at the keyboard.

In the novel, which has the working title "Wunderkind," the editor-in-chief is called Jill White and the publication is Jill magazine.

Jill the character is forced to do battle with a female CEO who installs her bridesmaid as the publisher of the magazine. …

In the book, Jill is forced out of her job by the treachery cooked up by the CEO and the publisher.

In real life, Fairchild CEO Mary Berner, shortly after she arrived at the top job, installed her friend Eva Dillon as publisher of Jane. Dillon is now at Cookie, the new parenthood magazine.

Oh, the coincidences. They're starting to make Nicole Richie's Truth About Diamonds "composite character" of Paris Hilton look more veiled than Prince Michael II out in public.
