Sarah Palin Signs Deal to Write a Memoir


Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who felt maligned by much of the news coverage of her unsuccessful vice-presidential bid last year, is writing a memoir.

HarperCollins Publishers says the book is scheduled to be released next spring. Ms. Palin could not be reached, but in interviews with The Associated Press and The Anchorage Daily News, she declined to disclose how much she would be paid for the book.

“There’s been so much written about and spoken about in the mainstream media and in the anonymous blogosphere world, that this will be a wonderful, refreshing chance for me to get to tell my story, that a lot of people have asked about, unfiltered,” Ms. Palin told The A.P.

News of the book deal renewed speculation that Ms. Palin intends to mount a 2012 presidential campaign. The deal was brokered by Robert Barnett, a lawyer who has handled book deals for former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and others.

Ms. Palin, who graduated from the University of Idaho, told The Daily News that it would “be nice to put my journalism degree to work on this and get to tell my story, Alaska’s story.”
