TuckerMax.com: "Assholes Finish First" deal is officially announced
"Assholes Finish First" deal is officially announced
Here is the Publishers Weekly announcement (it's a little down the page).
So that's the official news, here is what they are not telling you:
The advance for Assholes Finish First is the largest advance ever given to a blogger for a single book: $300,000.
[Note: I am 99% sure of it being the largest single book advance ever given to a blogger, and I did search high and low for confirmation, but I may be wrong. If I am, please email me and tell me, I don't want to claim something that isn't true.]
I also think that I am the first blogger to ever sign a second book deal (though again, I am not 100% sure) [EDIT: I was way wrong on this. There have been a bunch that have signed second deals. I just didn't know them]. Why is this? Well, this article does a pretty good job explaining why. [Fun fact: According to BookScan, my book has by itself outsold all the books listed on that Boston Herald piece--Straight Up and Dirty, Washingtonniene, Dog Days, and Anonymous Lawyer--PUT TOGETHER. (So has Maddox's, as he just spent 15 fucking weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List, which is awesome)]
