Tina Fey offered $6M for book (maybe, possibly?)

October 4, 2008

The New York Post is reporting that 30 Rock star and producer Tina Fey has been offered around $6M for her first book.

Fey is the It Girl on Television right now, with Emmys and her Sarah Palin impersonation (will she make yet another appearance on the show tomorrow night?) and the upcoming third season of her show (October 30). Not sure if the $6M figure is correct. The Post states her agent isn’t commenting and that the figure is from “sources.” If it’s true, that’s a pretty hefty payday. You don’t usually see a figure that high unless you’re a major political figure or a bestselling, established author. But good for her if she gets it.

The paper states that the book won’t be a memoir but a book of humor essays “in the style…of Nora Ephron.” I kinda doubt that. I mean, maybe, but something tells me the essays will be edgier, with less personal details.
