Student who feels responsible for BuzzFeed layoffs gets book deal

After it was revealed that a Michigan teen had made hundreds of thousands of dollars for BuzzFeed, we reported that she was inundated with job offers when her identity became public.

Now Rachel McMahon has revealed that she’s also got a book deal out of the kerfuffle.

“What Kind of Quiz Book Are You?” is due on shelves July 2.

Curiously, the cover bills her as “BuzzFeed’s genius quiz creator,” despite the fact that she has never been a BuzzFeed employee.

McMahon’s success was revealed amid mass layoffs at the site, when an axed exec let slip that the site was raking in money from work done by unpaid enthusiasts.
