Lena Dunham's Book Proposal Leaks Online
The proposal for Lena Dunham's essay collection, Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s Learned, is now available for public perusal, thanks to Gawker, who acquired the document and put it online.
Random House announced in October that it bought the 26-year-old Girls creator's book, after a bidding war between publishers that brought the price up to $3.7 million. Dunham attracted the publishers' attention with a 66-page illustrated proposal, decked out in vintage trade-paperback style and modeled after the advice books of legendary Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown.
