A Publishing Low

Since this was reported by the National Enquirer, I can only hope this is not true. Just the thought of it makes me ill.

Author O.J. Simpson Gets $3.5 Mil For Confessional

Read the details at The Book Standard. Nod to Booksquare for the link.

UPDATE: In comments, HelenKay Dimon wrote: Happy to report it's not true. Yesterday's Publishers Lunch said this:O.J. Simpson's lawyer Yale Galanter denies the Enquirer's report about a confessional book. He tells the NYDN Simpson "is not writing a book. We haven't been paid 35 cents, much less $3.5 million."

Thanks for the info, HelenKay. Very glad that it's not true. Really, really glad.

Thanks, HelenKay and thank goodness. I'll paste your entry in my original post.

That is a relief. I was living in L.A. when all that went down. Met Ron's father on a flight. The man was truly shattered.
