Yesterday, Lena Dunham released a limited edition print book entitled Is it Evil Not to be Sure?. This project features excerpts from a journal she wrote in when she was 19 years old.

According to Dunham’s instagram post (embedded above), she ordered a first printing of 2,000 copies and signed all the books. Less than 24 hours later, the printed books have already sold out.

Today, Dunham wrote up a “thank you” post on instagram (embedded below) and revealed that the eBook edition has been made available through the Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon online bookstores. The generated proceeds will go to a New York City-based creative writing and mentoring organization called Girls Write Now.

Thank you so much! We've sold out of our first run of 2,000 signed copies and are feeling joyous because all your bucks will help @girlswritenow do their critical job!!! And so will the purchase of the ebook, which is $2.99 and ready for you. Link to Kobo bio! Also available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble sites.
