With my book release less than a week away, I'm excited to share an excerpt from Well, That Escalated Quickly on Shondaland, the new Shonda Rhimes lifestyle site, which includes handy "Should I unfriend this person?" flowchart. As we all know, Facebook has changed many of our lives, relationships and businesses for better aaaand for worse. So I made a handy flowchart to help you decide when to cut the cord with your Facebook friends.  

Unfriended! from Well, That Escalated Quickly (via Shondaland)

And don't forget #WTEQ will be available in hardcover, digital and audiobook on 5/22 at your favorite local retailers! Visit wteqbook.com to pre-order, get tour dates and more!

Why Franchesca Ramsey Is Done Feeding the Trolls

The online phenom on her new memoir, “Well, That Escalated Quickly,” her accidental activism and why she’s taking a step back from the internet.

My face is in the New York Times today which...is pretty fucking cool. 

[chescaleigh]

Play it cool...I wrote a book! 

After MONTHS of being sworn to secrecy, I can finally share the cover for my VERY FIRST BOOK: Well, That Escalated Quickly!!! 

“In this sharp, funny, and timely collection of personal essays veteran video blogger and star of MTV’s Decoded Franchesca Ramsey explores race, identity, online activism, and the downfall of real communication in the age of social media rants, trolls, and call-out wars.“

This has been such an incredible (aka long) process and I'm so excited-nervous-pumped-ready to share this baby with the world! I know you have questions, but don't worry, I've got answers for you...

When is the book out? The book will be available in hardcover and e-book May 22nd! BUT you can pre-order RIGHT NOW at www.WTEQbook.com  or your favorite book retailer!

Will there be an audio book?  YES! And it will of course be read by yours truly!!

Will there be a book tour? YES! So far we have 5 cities planned but are hoping to add more! Promise I'll announce the dates & locations ASAP! But in the meantime you can join my mailing list for future book tour updates

How can I support you & the book? Every pre-order helps go towards possibly being on the NYT best sellers list (which is of course my DREAM) so that's the first & best way to support. And if you're wondering, WTEQ would make a great gift, so you can totally order more than one ;) You can also share your excitement by using the hashtag #WTEQbook and reblogging this post and/or sharing across social media! 

Thanks for all the words of encouragement and support along the way as I've been working on this book. You all have helped me get here & I couldn't be more honored or more humbled. Stay tuned!

LEGGGGOOOOO! My very first book is now available at your favorite retailers and wteqbook.com!
