Biden memoir sells in $10M range
The Hill ^ | 7/24/25 | Judy Kurtz

Posted on 07/25/2025 6:20:10 AM PDT by DallasBiff

The publisher of former President Biden’s forthcoming memoir reportedly paid around a $10 million advance for the book.

Hachette Book Group paid the roughly $10 million figure to Biden for the book to be published by its Little, Brown & Co., The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Creative Artists Agency, which represents Biden, declined ITK’s requests for comment, while the publisher did not immediately respond.

In 2017, a bidding war for the global rights to two books from former President Obama and Michelle Obama reportedly topped $60 million.

Former President Clinton received a $15 million advance for his 2004 autobiography “My Life,” according to multiple reports.

My opinion it will be written by Jill, while Joe is in the other part of the room, licking ice cream.

It will go into the bargain bin, IMO.

If it is ghost-written by Hunter and sounds like that F-bomb laden interview he just gave, I’ll buy it.

This will be one of Dr. Jill’s last chances to invent her own version of a Camelot Myth. Trouble is, the cat has already been let out of the bag. Everybody now admits, Uncle Joe’s brain has been fried and thusly pickled with “health pills” for several years.

The title should be “I can’t re-Memoir”

Most likely it’ll be a coloring book with ice cream stains on it.

I mostly read non-fiction, so I’ll pass on this one.

Hachette Book Group paid the roughly $10 million figure to Biden


Appropriate book group name, anyway.
