Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons- "Born Again"
It's been a very good season for 30 Rock creator Tina Fey. A few weeks back, she picked up three Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress. Since then, the infamous Sarah Palin likeness has kept her on screen and in the news.
Now, book publishers want in on the Fey frenzy.
According to The New York Post, she's received inquiries in the past, but if her agent, Richard Abate, poses any indication, they're ready to strike while her celeb status is hot. Abate began sounding out publisher interest this week. One company reportedly offered a $5 million advance, and that was before other publishers caught wind of the deal. Bids began pouring in, sending the price up to more like $6 million.
Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but the book is being pitched as non-fiction humor, i.e. not a memoir. Though Fey hasn't had time to meet with publishers, we're glad she hasn't been too busy for this:
