Author of infamous UMD sorority email pens a novel

One of the most widely read young authors of the year is shopping for a book deal.

Rebecca Martinson, whose furious email to her sorority sisters at University of Maryland became a national sensation, has teamed with the creators of White Girl Problems to write a novel, the New Republic reports.

Martinson has not responded to a request for comment, and we don't know the subject of her novel. But, if Martinson follows her creative writing teacher's advice and writes about what she knows, we can imagine the novel would be about anger, sorority politics, pleasing frat boys, and people who should punch themselves in the face (which, apparently, were most members of her former sorority).

Martinson attempted to gently school her sisters on the finer points of Delta Gamma etiquette, because they were, as she put it, "LITERALLY being so [expletive] AWKWARD and so [expletive] BORING." The post became the toast of the web earlier this year and spawned numerous parodies.

The sisters of Delta Gamma jumped to disavow the email, which they described as "highly inappropriate and unacceptable by any standard," and Martinson resigned from the sorority.

Martinson seems to have had no problem filling her time without sorority events. She writes for a website called Bro Bible on such enlightening and Not-Safe-for-Work topics as "How to Decode a College Girl's Dorm Room for Hook-Up/Dating Potential."

And more than 10,000 people follow her Twitter feed, in which she shares uplifting thoughts on flatulence, drinking and ways in which she would rather maim herself than sit through boring classes.
