The Receptionist by Janet Groth
synopsis from the publisher's website:

Though she dreamed of becoming a writer, she never advanced at the magazine. This memoir of a particular time and place is as much about why that was so as it is about Groth's fascinating relationships with John Berryman, Joseph Mitchell, Muriel Spark, as well as E.J. Kahn, Calvin Trillin, Renata Adler, Peter DeVries, Charles Addams, and many other "New Yorker" contributors and bohemian denizens of Greenwich Village in its heyday. Eventually, Groth would have to leave "The New Yorker" in order to find herself.

This sounds interesting enough. I will have to keep an eye out for it.
