Welcome to the most convoluted announcement ever:
Publisher’s Marketplace reports the sale of “Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan’s THE FUG AWARDS, fashion critiques of celebrity outfits from the authors of a popular website, to Jeremie Ruby-Strauss at Simon Spotlight Entertainment, in a good deal, by Scott Hoffman at Folio Literary Management (NA).”
We’re here to translate to regular people speak for you.
The Fug girls, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, wrote a book called The Fug Awards based on their popular website, Go Fug Yourself, which critiques celebrity outfits. The book was sold by Scott Hoffman of Folio Literary Management to Jeremie Ruby-Strauss of Simon Spotlight Entertainment. The deal was reportedly “good” according to Publisher’s Marketplace.
We know many a blogger book out there is not doing too well; most notably the side by side flops of Ana Marie Cox and Jessica Cutler. But maybe since nobody can really understand the press that’s circulating around this book, the girls will have a shot.
