NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - It looks as though Sarah Palin may be ready to tell her story in print.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate apparently has enlisted the help of superstar Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who has brokered book deals for such political A-listers as President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Additionally, he has handled TV deals for many top news anchors and reporters, among them Brian Williams, Lesley Stahl, Neil Cavuto, Christiane Amanpour and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
While not an immediate option, TV news is considered a possible future career path for the telegenic Palin, who is halfway through her first term as Alaska governor.
Reached by telephone late Wednesday, Barnett said he had no comment.
In the past few weeks, Palin has gone on the offensive, lashing out at the media for the way she and her family have been portrayed.
Since her sudden rise to stardom after being picked in late August as Sen. John McCain's running mate, Palin has been mentioned as a possible 2012 presidential candidate.
But there also has been speculation that she has potential as a TV personality, along the lines of other prominent politicians who have transitioned to television, like Mike Huckabee. In the late 1980s, Palin worked as a sports reporter for Anchorage television stations.

What could she possibly say that we don't know already?
This is good. Authoring a book is a good step towards running for higher office. Ask Barry.
The title maybe be “Palling Around With McCain: A Window Shopper’s Nightmare”
I’ll believe it when I actually see it and read it - not some stupid article based on speculation from Reuters
And Vincent P. Where are you from in Ffld county if I may ask?
Me too. I can’t wait to read her book, and I bet whatever money she makes out of the book deal she gives away to charity. That outta piss off the libs. I hope she tells all, since McCain has shown that he has no problem throwing her under the bus, even though she busted her ass for him and prevented him from losing his own home state. Good for her, I am glad that she might be writing a book
I am ambiguous abou this. I loved being pleasantly surprised by Reagan’s writings.
I hope she goes down the same vein and talks in a positive way about improving America.
I have a strong feeling though it will be a highly political book complaining about how she was unfairly treated and posturing herself for a 2012 run (like Governor Huckabee).
Maybe. It would fit her character. But I wouldn't mind, if he decides to keep the money for her family. She earned it...
Correction: if she decide to...
Rumor has it that Sarah also has been offered $1MM to pose nude in the April addition of Playboy. On a another note, Michelle has also been offered the same deal from National Geographic.
I agree with you. This must be a scholarly, policy oriented book. The past is the past. She was bashed around but that’s part of the game.

Oh my, you FBI or CIA??? -:) Stamford.
I agree although right now I wouldn’t mind a Preface where she makes it clear the election is over she is moving on, then she briefly calls Nicole Wallace a !@#$ and $%^#.
And then she can move on with the policy talk.
Awesome - I grew up in Fairfield :)
So I guess this lawyer is a huge Democrat. I hope she knows what she is doing.
BTTT.
I hope she writes a book educating people on conservative principles...
