About the Author:
Casey works in entertainment marketing and lives in New York City. She has been a lifelong writer, starting early in high school as copy editor of her yearbook (all the cool kids were doing it). She's since continued as a student of the Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC where she's taken sketch comedy writing classes. She's published several satirical articles on digital comedy platforms Slackjaw and Points in Case and has been featured in a Variant Literature Journal for her creative non-fiction work.
Industry Friends is Casey’s debut novel and was born from her personal experiences living in the City while starting her early career. It’s a love letter to her first passion: television.

About Industry Friends:
When Olivia thinks her career has finally come together, her surrounding world falls apart.
Set in the entertainment industry of New York City, Casey Dexter’s Industry Friends takes readers deep inside the 25-year-old mind of Olivia, a production assistant at Atlas Broadcast Group. On the cusp of a promising career, Olivia struggles to find balance between her personal life and her job in the gritty, and sometimes hilariously shocking, top television network.
Just when Olivia thinks things are going her way, a series of unexpected events unfold and she sees her life spiraling out of control. With the New York City life she so carefully curated forever changed, Olivia finds herself alone and questioning her every move. Will she survive the trials that the industry has in store for her? Or will her dream job forever remain a dream?
Industry Friends speaks to twenty-somethings, career go-getters, and all those faced with the challenge of rediscovering themselves. Whether you like reading about entertainment, behind-the-scenes life in television, the thrills of New York City, or want to feel better about your dating life, Industry Friends is for you.
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and select book stores June 2022.
