This feature of course isn’t the only time Ms. Gregory has been a commercialized trailblazer for New York City writers. There’s this interview at The Awl, called a “Sponsored Post.” We’d never heard of a sponsored post before. The behind-the-scenes sponsor in this instance is chic clothier Ann Taylor.

Does the UCW promote anything more upscale than uniforms? Yes! For larger budgets, Alice Gregory, the Ultimate Commercialized Writer, contributes articles for radical chic magazine n+1 and its high-priced readership. Noteworthy among her pieces is this one, on the art auctioneer Sotheby’s:

We like this quote in particular:

“I can now identify a Loro Piana cashmere shawl from across a crowded room (a disproportionate percentage of men worth over a billion dollars wear purple ones).”

Wow! Would we expect anything less in discernment and taste from the Ultimate Commericalized Writer? A model for us all?! She’s the cutting edge of today’s New York literary scene.
