Gag

From Publishers Lunch:

Former editor of Gawker.com and author of a recent NYT Magazine cover article on her life online Emily Gould's AND THE HEART SAYS..."WHATEVER", called "an honest, searching and wry set of recollections that together weave a picture of what it's like to be a young person in New York City in the early 2000s," to Amber Qureshi at Free Press, in a pre-empt, for publication in 2010, by Melissa Flashman at Trident Media Group (NA).


Gawker says the deal was for a million. Gould (via Galleycat) denied the figure, and Ron reports that the deal may or may not be closer to $350k. Either way, Emily has a lot more money than I do. And that makes me angry. Does anyone know how much Sloane's book went for?


Do tell,


The Editor

Sloane's book went for $75K.

EG's book (so I heard) went for $250K. One publisher lost the bidding at $150K.

Sloane's book went for a lot lower than 75k....A LOT. Do with this information what you will, but it's true.

I'm jealous as hell, but hey, good for her! If she can get a 6 fig deal, maybe I can one day as long as publishers continue to overpay for books.
