Overview
- Ratajkowski confirmed the book deal on Instagram on Thursday, posting “book no 2 here we go” after industry reports of a sale.
- The book will expand on a June essay for The Cut in which she candidly described dating and sex after her 2022 separation from Sebastian Bear‑McClard.
- Publishers Marketplace and trade reporting say the title Mother F*cker sold to Penguin Press after a reported 12‑way auction for a seven‑figure sum.
- No publication date has been announced and the project sits alongside a developing Apple TV series about female identity and modern motherhood that lists Stephanie Danler and Lena Dunham as creative partners.
- The deal follows Ratajkowski’s 2021 bestseller My Body and underscores publishers’ growing willingness to pay large advances for high‑profile, candid memoirs that can drive cross‑platform projects and intense media attention.
