Bloggers with Book Deals: Jew-ish Edition

Snark Factory Numero Uno brings us news of former FishbowlNY editor and current Huffington Post contributor Rachel Sklar’s book deal from Publisher’s Marketplace:

NON-FICTION: HUMOR
Huffington Post contributor (and former Fishbowl blogger) Rachel Sklar’s JEW-ISH, a guide to understanding the difference between a shiksa and a latke, and why there are so many ways to spell Chanukah, pitched as something like AMERICA: THE BOOK, except about Jews, and what it takes to be a good one, or a good-ish one (now go call your mother!), to Matthew Benjamin at Collins, by Kate Lee at ICM (world English).

Congratulations to Rachel — we’d love to drop some Hebrew on you here, but the Gawkplex beat us to “mazel tov”, and beyond that and “Mitzvah” our understanding of the Torah has diminshed significantly since our youth (and none of our Jewish friends are returning our calls).
