"It doesn't matter what the upside on a Trump book deal is, the headaches the project would bring would far outweigh the potential in the eyes of a major publisher," said Keith Urbahn, president and founding partner of Javelin, a literary and creative agency. "Any editor bold enough to acquire the Trump memoir is looking at a fact-checking nightmare, an exodus of other authors, and a staff uprising in the unlikely event they strike a deal with the former president."

Besides the factual issues that publishing a book would bring, Trump's role in inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection and his peddling of election falsehoods since last November have made him radioactive in the Manhattan publishing world. Simon & Schuster dropped a book by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who objected to the election results on Jan. 6, although his book was then picked up by conservative imprint Regnery....

...The presidency, however, made Trump both more famous and toxic. In contrast, just over a month after leaving office, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's post-White House memoirs were the objects of a bidding war involving at least four publishers, with the winning deal reportedly worth more than $65 million. Penguin Random House won the auction.<<
