Harper: Sarah Palin’s Memoir Will Be “Huge”
While the television news networks scrambled to make sense of Alaska governor (and failed Republican vice-presidential candidate) Sarah Palin‘s sudden Friday afternoon resignation, we wondered: What does all this mean for the book deal she signed with HarperCollins back in May?
The short answer is, as of 10 p.m. Friday night, we have no idea. As you can imagine, we’d pretty much checked out for the holiday weekend when this Paling thing happened, and just about everybody we knew at Harper had checked out for the holiday weekend, and the one person we did reach declined (not unexpectedly) to speak on the subject…
And that’s where the matter stood until we checked our RSS feed and saw that Jeffrey Trachtenberg at the Wall Street Journal had spoken to Harper director of publicity Tina Andreadis, who told him the memoir is still on track: “We think the book will be huge,” she says. “Even though she’s stepping down, people will want to hear her story. This is her opportunity to tell her own story her own way.”
