Sarah Palin reported on financial disclosure forms released today that she received $1.25 million as a “retainer for book” from HarperCollins for her much-anticipated memoir “Going Rogue,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.
As we’ve reported, Palin’s memor, which will be released Nov. 17, topped bestseller lists almost as soon as it was available for pre-order. After resigning as governor of Alaska in July, Palin worked with ghostwriter Lynn Vincent on the book in San Diego this summer. And she’ll discuss “Going Rogue” with Oprah Winfrey in an interview next month.
The Alaska paper reports that no other details on the retainer were offered on Palin’s disclosure forms — though the former vice presidential nominee did list other gifts of note, including Yankees tickets in June — courtesy of former New York Mayor and failed presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani — worth $4,250.
