Ana-Marie Cox (a.k.a Wonkette) has just sold her debut novel. Publishers’ Marketplace reports:
“Wonkette” Ana Marie Cox’s novel DOG DAYS, a comic tale about “a young Washingtonian Bridget Jones-type,” to Julie Grau at Riverhead, reportedly for $275,000 (according to the NY Post), at auction, by the David Black Literary Agency.
I hope for her sake that Matthew Klam (who wrote sarcastically about her and other political bloggers in the NYT) won’t review it when it comes out.
