Anna Faris has advice for you. Anna Faris has advice for you. And it’s great advice, because she’s been through it all, and she wants to tell you what she’s learned. After surviving an awkward childhood (when she bribed the fastest boy in the third grade with ice cream), navigating dating and marriage in Hollywood, and building a podcast around romantic advice, Anna has plenty of lessons to share: Advocate for yourself. Know that there are wonderful people out there and that a great relationship is possible. And, finally, don’t date magicians. Her comic memoir, Unqualified, shares Anna’s candid, sympathetic, and entertaining stories of love lost and won. Part memoir—including stories about being “the short girl” in elementary school, finding and keeping female friends, and dealing with the pressures of the entertainment industry and parenthood—part humorous, unflinching advice from her hit podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the book will reveal Anna’s unique take on how to master the bizarre, chaotic, and ultimately rewarding world of love. Hilarious, honest, and useful, Unqualified is the book Anna’s fans have been waiting for. Since October 2015, a whole lot of people have been getting relationship advice from a very well-intentioned but untrained source — actress Anna Faris — on her ridiculously popular podcast, Unqualified. Anna’s own personal life was messy, even while her career soared as the lead in the Scary Movie franchise, and as the star of the CBS comedy, MOM. She started Unqualified as something gone-a-goof, but the podcast is already getting 1.5 million downloads a month, and is consistently one of the most popular out there. Now, working with collaborator Rachel Bertsche, she is telling all in her first book UNQUALIFIED. Unable to find an ex who would spill the beans, Chris has graciously agreed to write the introduction. Anna Faris is an award-nominated actress, producer and podcaster. She first gained fame as the lead in the Scary Movie franchise. Since September 2013, she has starred in the CBS comedy Mom, a role that earned her two People’s Choice nominations. ‘Anna Faris Is Unqualified’, the podcast Faris launched in 2015, gets an average of 1.5 million downloads a month. • Anna played the ditzy lead in the noughties Scary Movie franchise which was a major UK box office hit. She’s since gone on to become something of a girl crush with her stellar comedy performances and her enviable ability to snag the most eligible actor of the moment, Chris Pratt. • Husband, Chris Pratt, star of box office smash Jurassic World, cult TV series Parks and Recreation and Guardians of the Galaxy, will be writing the Foreword • Anna’s podcast of the same name has seen unprecedented success since it first launched in October 2015 – 1.5m downloads a month (200K from the UK as of last summer 2016), 25% growth month-on-month and consistently at the top of the podcast charts • Anna consistently gets major A-listers to guest on her podcast on which the book is based. Recent guest appearances include comedy veteran Bob Odenkirk, Charlie Day, Jeremy Renner, Isla Fisher and Seth Rogen • The US campaign will be major, following up from a 7-figure 7-publisher auction in the States
