NEW YORK, New York --

Tina Fey has finalized a book deal with Little, Brown & Co., according to the New York Observer.

She’ll reportedly be writing a collection of nonfiction humor in the vein of Nora Ephron.

The deal is expected to include a gift to the foundation Books For Kids, supporting the construction of six libraries for schools in underprivileged areas of New York.

The bespectacled comedienne has been a hot commodity lately, picking up three Emmy awards for her writing and starring role as Liz Lemon on NBC’s “30 Rock” and earning kudos for her spot-on satire of look-a-like vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in two recent appearances on “Saturday Night Live.”
