11th June 2003
Bookstores in the USA opened their doors one minute after midnight on Monday 9th June 2003 to let in people desperate to get their hands on the most eagerly anticipated book in recent history. The book in question is not about a young wizard called Harry Potter, but rather a collection of memoirs by former First-Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton entitled ‘Living History‘ in which she talks about the affair her husband, Bill Clinton, enjoyed with Monica Lewinsky. Due to this, the book is widely expected to become the biggest and fastest selling non-fictional publication in history, something that publisher Simon & Schuster will be more than satisfied with, given that they paid Hillary the princely sum of $8 million. The release of her memoirs has been viewed as a sign that senator Hillary Clinton is gearing up for a possible presidential election campaign by which she will attempt to become the first female president of the USA.
UK TRIP
Headline, British publisher of ‘Living History‘, is delighted to announce a UK visit by Hillary Rodham Clinton to promote her memoirs. Hillary Clinton will arrive in the UK on Thursday 3rd July and depart on Sunday 6th July.
Highlights of the whistle-stop visit will include a public book signing at Waterstone‘s, Piccadilly 6 - 7pm on Thursday 3rd July, and a select number of high-profile media interviews - amongst them BBC Radio 4‘s Woman‘s Hour, Channel 4‘s Richard & Judy and BBC1‘s Breakfast with Frost. Hillary Clinton will also be visiting Oxford, where she will be signing at Borders Books & Music at lunchtime on Saturday 5th July.
Headline has already secured Hillary Clinton‘s first UK TV interview with Granada‘s Tonight Programme. This will air on ITV at 8pm on Friday 13th June and this one-to-one interview with Sir Trevor McDonald will no doubt make further news headlines for the book that everyone is talking about.
Celebrities Worldwide‘s sister company Upfront was actually responsible for introducing Monica Lewinsky to author Andrew Morton and his publisher Michael O‘Mara for Morton‘s 1999 book ‘Monica‘s Story‘
