Everybody get knocked up

knock yourself up

If Judd Apatow’s and Rebecca Eckler’s lawyers weren’t already going to spend a lot of time debating whether tales of drunken insemination constitute intellectual property (see here for context), a new up-knocking contender is about to enter the field.

In October, Avery, a imprint of Putnam in the U.S., will be publishing Louise Sloan’s Knock Yourself Up: A Tell-All Guide to Becoming a Single Mom. The book, which is being marketed with the tag-line “No Man? No Problem!,” is part memoir and part how-to guide, though that latter part will probably not feature frozen daquiris in quite the same measure as either Apatow’s film or Eckler’s book.
