Former US President Joe Biden has sold the rights to publish his memoirs to Hachette Book Group for 10 million dollars, as reported The Wall Street Journal.
According to the newspaper, Biden was represented by the Creative Artists Agency talent agency in the deal. The timing of the writing and publication of the book will depend on the well-being and health of the 82-year-old former head of the US administration, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer earlier this year.
As the publication notes, the rights to the memoirs of the 42nd US President Bill Clinton were sold for 15 million dollars. The 44th American leader Barack Obama and his wife Michelle made a deal with the publishing house Penguin Random House, which acquired the rights to publish their memoirs for 60 million dollars.
Biden already published a memoir in 2017 called “Promise Me, Dad,” which described the history of the politician’s relationship with his son Beau Biden, who died of cancer in 2015.
