Roxy Jacenko reveals the fatal error which forced her to scrap new book

Roxy Jacenko’s fourth literary work, Roxy’s Little Black Book of Tips & Tricks is set to hit shelves in less than two weeks.

But the 38-year-old suffered a less-than-ideal set-back in recent months thanks to a rather unfortunate typo that appeared in the book’s first print-run. 

According to The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, a quote by KIIS FM’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson was misprinted to read, ‘Roxy never fails to disappoint…’, rather than: ‘Roxy never fails to deliver. 

‘It’s a nightmare and not something anyone wants to happen!’ Roxy Jacenko, 38, has revealed a fatal editing mistake caused her to scrap an early edition of her new book, Roxy’s Little Black Book of Tips & Tricks 

‘Without question it’s a nightmare and not something anyone wants to happen,’ Roxy told the publication, claiming that six proofreaders from publisher Allen & Unwin managed to miss the error before the book went to print. 

‘It’s a f**k up, but Jackie’s a friend,’ Roxy insisted, explaining that the mistake was picked up by a friend who read an early version of the tome. 

Roxy’s Roxy’s Little Black Book Of Tips and Tricks is a how-to guide that focuses on navigating through social media, the PR business, as well as creating and developing a brand.

‘The book is a non-fiction, no bulls**t guide to all things PR, Social Media, Business and Building your Brand. It has been something I have wanted to do for a number of years,’ Roxy previously told Daily Mail Australia. 

‘The book will be out in December and will be my first non-fiction book,’ the mother-of-two confirmed.

Proving that she really can do it all, the PR guru has previously penned three fiction titles; Strictly Confidential, The Rumour Mill and The Spotlight.

Meanwhile, the businesswoman has been gearing up to release her debut children’s book in coming months.

In January, Roxy took to Instagram to tease the release of the illustrated novel, sharing a photo of herself and six-year-old daughter Pixie working on the project together.

‘Pix and I are working on a picture book this afternoon for kids to encourage them to be kind and do the right thing. Coming soon,’ she wrote on Instagram.
