“Vice President Joe Biden is thinking about writing a book. Former Attorney General Eric Holder recently sold one for seven figures. Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is shopping one, and Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has been fielding inquiries. But as publishers prepare to compete for a slew of political memoirs, all eyes are on the president and first lady,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“President Barack Obama’s literary accomplishments are rare for a sitting president. His critically-acclaimed 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father, won a Grammy for best spoken-word album. So did his second book, The Audacity of Hope, a book published in 2006 that discusses his time in the Senate and his policy positions. Each book has sold more than three million copies in print and e-books in the U.S., according to a publishing executive. “
