Publishers have been chasing Tina Fey to write a book for years.
But now that the "30 Rock" and former "Saturday Night Live" star is the doppelganger to Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, her celebrity status has turned white hot - and her book prospects are even hotter.
With very little prodding, Richard Abate, who left ICM to head up the East Coast operation at rival talent agency Endeavor, has begun sounding out publishers on their interest and - surprise, surprise - the lit set is panting for the chance to publish Fey.
One publisher out of the gate offered to pay a $5 million advance. Others jumped in, which, according to our sources, triggered a bidding war and sent the price tag to toward the $6 million range.
