If her second book is half as great as her first ("Straight Up and Dirty") then it's going to be a huge hit. Stephanie Klein is hysterically funny, smart, sharp, and witty. Her readers relate to her writing on many different levels and appreciate her honesty. I look forward to reading "Moose" when it comes out.

How do you feel about your weight now?
I could stand to lose 10 or 15 pounds, but honestly, I'm happy the way I am. I feel comfortable with it. I'd rather have that extra 10, 15 pounds on me than live a lifestyle of trying to sustain this unattainable weight.
What's your next project?
I'm working on two books. One is young adult fiction and one is women's fiction. I don't want to say too much.
Your first memoir, "Straight Up and Dirty," is in development as a half-hour comedy series. When will it air, and who would you like to star as you?
I have no idea when it will air. I want it to be sort of a young Bette Midler type. Someone with lots of personality who tells it like it is.
"Browse Inside" MOOSE by Stephanie Klein
Editor's Note (published May 21, 2008): This story was originally illustrated with two very similar photos of Stephanie Klein during one summer at camp, rather than the photos intended for the piece, which show her as a child before her weight loss and at her current weight. NEWSWEEK apologies for any confusion this error may have caused.
