Girls creator will join collaborator Jenni Konner and publisher Random House on ‘voice-driven’ list spinning off from their eponymous website
Actor and writer Lena Dunham has teamed up with publisher Random House to launch her own publishing imprint, Lenny.
Launching in late 2017, Lenny will publish fiction and non-fiction titles selected by Dunham and Jenni Konner, co-creator of the website Lenny, which covers “feminism, style, health, politics, friendship and everything else”. What began as the weekly bulletin Lenny Letter, has as a website established a track record of attracting significant voices in literature and public debate. Previous features include an interview Dunham conducted with US presidential contender Hillary Clinton, actor Jane Fonda writing about how she became a feminist, and actor Jennifer Lawrence’s much talked-about essay about her anger towards the pay gap in Hollywood.
