It’s taking former President Barack Obama longer to write his next book than he expected because he’s writing it, rather than using a ghostwriter like his wife did, according to a new report.
Sources who have spoken to Obama claim the former president feels a bit competitive with Michelle Obama, given that her latest book is poised to become the best-selling memoir ever. But Obama has said that he is authoring the book on his own, whereas his wife employed a ghostwriter, The Atlantic reports.
Michelle Obama’s memoir Becoming was published in November and has sold more than 10 million copies since it was released. The New York Times best-seller was the fastest selling book last year and sold more hardcover copies of any book in 2018. The book was ranked Amazon’s No. 1 seller before it was released due to presales.
