Conquering TV With 'Mad Men.' Now Matthew Weiner Publishes a Novel.
Last fall, Matthew Weiner was walking on the Upper East Side of Manhattan when he saw a teenage girl having a tense conversation with a companion near a building under construction. Mr. Weiner, creator of the AMC drama " Mad Men," was carrying the notebook he always keeps with him to record snippets of overheard dialogue or a fleeting idea for a scene.

A year ago, he said he was close to announcing a new (presumably tv) project -- I guess that fell through! I think a novel, for someone like him, is great because it'll get press and he maintains ownership of it, but he can also get it optioned and adapted into something if he chooses to go down that path.
