Anne Kornblut Writing Hillary Clinton Book

Posted on November 10, 2008

Anne Kornblut of The Washington Post is writing a book about Hillary Clinton to be called, Rejection: Why America Isn't Ready For a Woman President. Crown will publish the book.

The book was acquired for a sum in the mid-six figures by editor Sean Desmond in a deal that was brokered by the Endeavor Talent Agency's Richard Abate.

Ms. Kornblut's is the first of what is sure to be many post-election books, a category that is so far known to include titles from Newsweek, Media Matters' Eric Boehlert, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, and Ms. Kornblut's Post colleagues Haynes Johnson and Dan Balz.

Those who were hoping that the election was over will be disappointed at the barrage of post-election analysis books that will be hitting bookshelves soon. But political junkies will snap them up. Brace yourselves: Mike Huckabee has already been to Iowa in anticipation of the 2012 election.
