Rumors have been buzzing that actors Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak plan to collaborate on a new book together. According to Jezebel, they will earn $7.5 million for this project.
Kaling and Novak (pictured, via) both starred in the American version of The Office T.V. show, but off-camera these two have been involved with one another in a complicated romance. Their off-and-on relationship will be the focus of the project. Reportedly, this couple will make a formal announcement about the book during a panel at BookCon 2015.
Here’s more from the New York Daily News: “Kaling soon may have fodder for another book after this is all over. While the collaboration with Novak is to be published by a yet-to-be-named Random House imprint, her essay collection is being put out Sept. 29 by Crown Books — a direct competitor. There’s a rumor among publishing insiders that Random House could be using Kaling and Novak’s book to launch a new imprint that could appeal to authors with sensibilities and followings similar to those of the two ‘Office’ stars.” (via Vulture.com)
