" Girls creator Lena Dunham has secured a reported $3.5 million deal with Random House to pen a book of essays. A Random House spokesperson told The New York Times on Monday (October 8) that a deal had been reached with Dunham, but declined to confirm rumors of a multimillion dollar contract.   Susan Kamil, editor-in-Chief of Random House, said of the acquisition: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re thrilled to welcome Lena to Random House. Her skill on the page as a writer is remarkable - fresh, wise, so assured.  &amp;quot;She is that rare literary talent that will only grow from strength to strength and we look forward to helping her build a long career as an author.&amp;quot; Dunham&amp;#039;s book is to be titled Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She&amp;#039;s Learned, a modern take on the work of Helen Gurley Brown. The actress-writer said on Monday that she is &amp;quot;thrilled to be&amp;quot; collaborating with the publishing house&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;brilliant minds&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I look forward to digging deep with Andy and co. to produce the most thoughtful and personal book I can,&amp;quot; Dunham commented. Dunham was reportedly offered millions by publishers to secure rights for the project during meetings held on Friday.
