Scott Brown, autobiographer

Scott Brown has been Massachussetts’ junior senator for scarcely a week, and he’s already working on building his resume. Brown already trying to cash on his newfound stardom by shopping his autobiography to publishers. And his story, publishing insiders speculate, could land him a six-figure advance, though part of the proceeds will go to charity.

According to Boston Globe:

“He will tell his story in a book in hopes of providing insight and encouragement to others and also to ensure that the record is complete and accurate,’’ Gail Gitcho, Brown’s communications director, said in a statement yesterday morning. [...]

Brown’s story certainly defies stuffy Senate stereotypes: a tumultuous childhood, with both parents married three times; sternly lectured by a judge at age 12 for shoplifting LPs including a Black Sabbath record; posing nude for Cosmopolitan magazine; and riding a wave of populist anger to snatch Edward M. Kennedy’s seat from the Democrats.
