Living history

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIV : Living history


Living History is the memoirs of former United States First Lady Hillary Clinton (ISBN 0743222245). It was released in 2003.

The book sold more than one million copies in the first month following publication. In anticipation of these sales, the publisher Simon & Schuster, Inc. paid her $8 million in advance - a record figure to an author for an advance at that time.

Her audio recording of Living History earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Spoken Word Album category in 2003.

Clinton also reportedly used ghostwriters for her Living History memoirs - veteran ghostwriter Maryanne Vollers, speechwriter Alison Muscatine, and researcher Ruby Shamir. [link]. However, the women did not receive co-writing credit on the book's cover.
