Sarah Palin, Going Rogue
December 2009 — Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue: An American Life, written with Alive collaborator, Lynn Vincent, tops lists around the nation. Among them are USA Today, NYT, WSJ, and Amazon.com. HarperCollin’s spokeswoman Tina Andreadis reported sales of over one-million copies just two weeks after publication. Harper has now increased the original print run from 1.5 to 2.8 million. Going Rogue has officially joined the elite class of million-selling political memoirs.
Since penning the NYT’s bestselling memoir, Same Kind of Different As Me, Lynn’s talent for riveting storytelling has garnered critical acclaim in other memoirs such as The Blood of Lambs by ex-terrorist Kamal Saleem, and Never Surrender by former Delta Force Commander, William “Jerry” Boykin. Lee Hough secured the deal with Palin’s agent, Bob Barnett. — LH
