Is chick lit dead?

There's always talk about chick lit, as a genre, being dead. Which to me, a chick lit author, is highly infuriating. I mean, I still love chick lit. I still read chick lit. And, dammit, I still write chick lit!

But, more importantly, when's the last time anyone declared that an entire genre of writing was dead? Isn't that sort of like saying that mysteries are dead? Or romance is dead? Perish the thought....What do you think? Is chick lit dead? Check out what Trashionista had to say about it this week and let me know your thoughts
