Some of the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High are planning on using their newfound star power to get their gun control message out ... through a good page-turner.
Sources tell TMZ that at least two of the outspoken survivors have been in talks with publishers for book deals. The deals haven't been inked ... the students are in the meeting phase with book honchos.
We're also told that some of the students have been getting help from high-profile publicists to field requests and schedule media appearances. A lot of these kids have been all over the news lately, so it'd make sense they're not handling all these bookings solo.
According to our sources ... the point of this publicity push is to get their message across loud and clear -- real gun control is needed now, and they're insistent in bringing about change. One downside ... the kids haven't really had a chance to properly grieve...

But I can tell the democRATS, liberals, progressives, et. all. are involved just from the way this is playing out. A week ago these kids lost 17 classmates and teachers and now they want to be rock stars? Jeesh!
Anybody else see the usual "jump the shark" moment with the "no gun" message here?
These people have an opinion and that's fine. But they go so over the top on all of this stuff, it looks like a big, broad, epic stage production rather than a tragic incident at a high school by a mentally ill kid.
They aren't even hiding this scripted "no guns" message anymore. People are so used to it, I think it goes in one ear and out the other without stopping for a rest.
This used to pass for what my parents would refer to as the "seedier side of life".
Now it's mainstream. Rules for Radicals dressed up.
Yes, those who understand personal FREEDOM do not respond to violent attacks by eliminating rights of innocent law-abiding citizens, and do not respond to gay activism by using force of law to require everyone to perform homosexual propaganda functions.
This stuff is so sick and repulsive. Blood money.
i wonder, are they bothered even a little that they may profit through the deaths of their classmates? They must subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel view of never letting a good crisis go to waste.
Money laundering. My thought, also. And better still, ghost writer will do all the work.
Ill-gotten gains.
I’m your huckleberry.
(meaning the ones pushing violence, not you Ottawafreeper)
This is all too contrived.
This is how the Left pays off its foot soldiers.
I’d go further than contrived.
Personally I think it’s disgusting — vultures and hyenas show more compassion for the dead.
I meant more along the lines of planned.
Ah yes, that too. Curious and curiouser
Gonna have to be awful shallow books - their only experience/”expertise” started a couple weeks ago.....
Yep, no one thinks the books will sell enough to recoup the investment, it’s a funneling/laundering scheme
I have sympathy for the kids and parents who truly have been affected by this tragedy....these little Sociopaths have NOT been affected one bit, they are secretly happy.
