Brown To Hit The Book Trail
Less than a week after he was sworn in, Sen. Scott Brown's (R-MA) spokesperson confirmed to the Boston Globe today that Brown "is shopping his life story to book publishers."
Aiming to chronicle his rise to his current post from his days "being raised by a single-mother on welfare," Brown will work with a not-yet-determined collaborator. He has also hired DC atty Robert Barnett, whose clients have included Pres. Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush and Lynne Cheney.
Brown comm. dir. Gail Gitcho: "He will tell his story in a book in hopes of providing insight and encouragement to others and also to ensure that the record is complete and accurate. Part of the book proceeds will be donated to charity. Sen. Brown will work with a collaborator so he can continue to focus fully on his service to the people of Massachusetts, which is, and always will be, his first priority."
Politico first reported the news today, noting no decisions have been made yet on a timeline or a publisher. Aides also said the Senate Ethics Cmte will have to review and approve anything Brown does regarding a book.
