ROGEN: How long ago did you start working on it? The book process was very difficult for me.

It’s really nice to see people getting exactly what I intended to be gotten out of the book. So how has the book promotion been going?īRUNSON: It’s been interesting. I’m warning you now that at some point my wife is going to bring the dog in here. Meeting people and shaking thousands of hands over and over and over again.īRUNSON: I want people to keep the version of me that they see in their heads. They really made it out to be a big thing.īRUNSON: I have a lot of issues with traveling by myself to places. It was the thing I was most afraid of, I think.

Are you on a wild virtual book promotion tour right now?īRUNSON: Yep, it’s all virtual which I like because I didn’t really want to do a book tour anyway. I interviewed Danny McBride, and I think I was interviewed one time by Nick Kroll? I honestly can’t remember. SETH ROGEN: I think I’ve interviewed maybe three or four people for Interview.

QUINTA BRUNSON: So Seth, you’ve done one of these before? But how hard is it to transition from Instagram Stories to hardcover tomes? Below, the girl who launched a thousand memes tells Seth Rogen about her love-hate relationship with the writing process. The book charts her (relatively speedy) journey from West Philly comedy nerd to star of HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, and traces the tensions between her successes as a producer at Buzzfeed and the struggle to reconcile with depression and family trauma, offering readers a glimpse behind the curtain of one contemporary comedy’s most dynamic minds. With the release of She Memes Well, a book of lighthearted and gripping essays that stare down all sides of the media world and interrogate Brunson’s place within it, the 31-year-old comedian has given us yet another reason to entrust her with our limited attention spans. Quinta Brunson, an early pioneer of internet virality and queen of the web-tailored comedy show, is embracing a new medium-or rather, the oldest one there is.
