Bachmann Said to Have Deal For Memoir
Blogs NY Times ^ | June 16, 2011 | JULIE BOSMAN

Posted on 07/01/2011 3:10:15 PM PDT by FreeReign

Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has made a deal to publish her memoir, selling a book to Sentinel, a conservative imprint at Penguin Group USA, two people familiar with the negotiations said on Thursday.

Ms. Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite who announced her presidential candidacy during the Republican debate on Monday, has been shopping her memoir for weeks, meeting with several New York publishers to discuss a possible deal.

The book is tentatively expected to be released this fall. John Fund, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, will assist with the writing of the book.

Very odd timing.

Something like this should have been done and marketed already.

Thanks for the loaded question.

Have you stopped beating your wife/husband/dog/cat...whatever?

Actually, she’s following in the footsteps of JFK, like a good many candidates over the past 50 years.

If it is about her accomplishments it will be filed in the Fiction section of the book store.

Hillary got her advance shortly before taking office. Bill got his shortly after taking office. obama got paid for books he didn’t write. Now sit back and watch the screams about Bachman’s book deal.

And in one of them he had a relationship with Billy Ayers’ dead girlfriend! Go figure.

Sweet.

Is she going to discuss her hiring Rollins
to attack Gov Palin, and her flagrant condoning of it?

Is she going to discuss her support of ethanol supports
and Mitt Romney (her “President Romney)?

yep. but at least one of his autobiographies was written by Ayers...
and BOTH of them should not be classified as non-fiction...

‘If it is about her accomplishments it will be filed in the Fiction section of the book store.”

Maybe it will be on the shelf next to Bristol Palin’s memoir? We all know what a fount of wisdom she is.
