Felicia Day is a professional actress who has appeared in numerous television shows and films, including Supernatural, The Magicians, and Mystery Science Theatre 3000. However, Felicia is best known for her work in the web video world, behind and in front of the camera. She co-starred in Joss Whedon's Internet musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which won an Emmy in 2009. She also created and starred in the seminal web series The Guild. In 2012, Felicia created a production company called Geek & Sundry that pioneered content on YouTube, Twitch and other platforms. It was sold to Legendary Entertainment in 2015. Since writing her New York Times bestselling memoir You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) in 2016, Felicia has continued to work on her own creative projects as a producer, writer, and actor. Most recently she is working as a producer with Freeform on Woman World, an animated TV show based on the award-winning graphic novel.
You're Never Weird on the Internet is fun, hilarious, and
impossible to put down. Reading it is like getting a mega-shot of
courage -- to be exactly who you are and no one else, to pursue
your dreams fearlessly, to embrace your weirdness and wield it like
a superpower. If you want to live a life true to yourself and not
what others expect of you, you won't find better inspiration than
Felicia Day. If you're not one of Felicia's millions of fans yet --
you will be.--Jane McGonigal, author of Superbetter and Reality is
Broken "Bustle"
"You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is exactly like
Felicia herself: intriguing, funny, vulnerable, and uniquely cool.
If you've ever been awkward, ever doubted yourself, ever
second-guessed who you are, this book is for you. Reading it is
like having the quirkiest, most hilarious, most brilliant person
you've ever met grab you by the shirtfront and say, 'HEY. IT'S OKAY
TO BE YOU.'"--Deanna Raybourn, Rita Award-winning author of The
Dark Enquiry "Bustle"
"[An] inspirational comic memoir . . . to set alongside Tina Fey's
Bossypants, Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone
Hanging Out Without Me?, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl and
Sarah Silverman's The Bedwetter. Young people of both sexes and
every gender should find much to empower them. (Older people, too,
for that matter.)"--George R.R. Martin "Los Angeles Times"
"At last, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) reveals the
secret origin story of everyone's favorite geek super heroine!
Felicia Day's memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It's the
story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely--then became a
self-made internet rock star. Reading it will make you feel like
you can take on the whole Empire yourself."--Ernest Cline, author
of Ready Player One "USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars)"
"Felicia Day gives us an achingly funny, honest, open look at being
'situationally famous, ' (I love that phrase), plus the vital art
of finding your creative joy, and weathering the storms that
follow. It's a wonderful book. Buy it before I grab all the
copies."--Rachel Caine, author of The Morganville Vampires
"Bustle"
"Math nerd defies physics! Felicia Day, who is woven from
moonbeams, has written a book that seems lighter than air, but that
ends up punching you firmly in the emotions. Felicia lays out a
hilarious tale of how her unique upbringing, eclectic skill set,
and killer work ethic led to The Guild, one of the pioneering works
of online creativity. In the process, she pulls you inside her
delicate skull, so that the final moving chapters aren't as much
read as they are experienced. An excellent book."--Jane Espenson,
writer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once Upon a Time, and Husbands
"Bustle"
"Throughout the entire book, Day offers up all kinds of amazing
life advice that will truly impact others, especially young girls,
women, those who don't feel accepted, and those who are struggling
in life."--Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One "Bustle"
"Felicia is a lot of fun, and so is her book."
--George R.R. Martin
