CNN's popular anchor Anderson Cooper has landed a $1 million dollar book deal with HarperCollins.
Basking in high praise for his coverage of Hurricane Katrina and having stolen the spotlight from many of his competitors, CNN reporter Anderson Cooper has officially landed a book contract with HarperCollins, agent Luke Janklow told The Book Standard today.
The not-yet-written memoir was bought for $1 million by HarperCollins publisher Jonathan Burnham, who will be editing the book himself, Janklow said, adding that Cooper will not be working with a ghostwriter. The book will "deal with the last year of [Cooper’s] life as a journalist and human being in Sri Lanka, Africa, Iraq and Louisiana/Mississippi," his agent said. Most of the proceeds will go to charity.
After his outstanding reporting during Hurricane Katrina, Anderson Cooper's career is on fire.
