Office politics by email

Set inside a London advertising agency pursuing a major account, *e* uses workplace email as its epistolary form. The messages trace employees’ maneuvering through office hierarchy, where bureaucratic confusion and competition shape the agency’s daily business. Matt Beaumont’s background as an advertising copywriter is noted in the source, linking the novel’s corporate setting to the industry it depicts. The email format makes communication itself the frame for a story about ambition, workplace relationships, and the machinery of office politics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in novels told through emails and other documents.
  • Readers curious about advertising agencies and workplace competition.
  • Readers who enjoy fiction focused on corporate culture and office relationships.

re: I'm leaving now . . . but before I go there are some things you should know...!!!! Set in a London ad agency desperate to land a coveted big account, e follows the bureaucratic bungling, cutthroat maneuvers, and outrageous sexual antics of a group of Miller-Shanks employees as they scheme, lie, lust, and claw their way up (and down) the company ladder. Written by a former advertising copywriter, this hilarious, dead-on-target novel marks the debut of a hip and exciting new voice in contemporary fiction. With the click of a mouse, Matt Beaumont brings the novel of letters into the twenty-first century, turning his merciless, unerring eye on today's Machiavellian corporate culture-with uproarious results.
