It’s so early in the week, and already, we are heading for a J-Press/Doree Shafrir/Moe Tkacik expat trifecta! This just in over the wire:

A mere month after a book based on popular website Stuff White People Like was sold to Random House for a rumored $350k comes word of another blog-to-print deal. Postcards From Yo Momma, a website that runs user-submitted e-mails and chat transcripts from real moms, is being turned into a hardcover work of literature by the people at Hyperion, publishing next April. While actual numbers are unavailable, the site’s creators, Brooklyn-based writers Doree Shafrir (New York Observer, pictured) and Jessica Grose (Jezebel), are said to have received a comfortable (if not as stratospheric as the White People transaction) sum.

Hot damn. Quick, Moe! Make out with The Cobrasnake or Dov Charney or something! I wanna wrap this up by Thursday morning and then turn my attentions back to “The Annotated A.D. Amorosi” and half-assing weekend picks. Good Lord, this is how the weeks fly by around here.
Radar: Throw Momma Some Of That Money Train
