Living History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Living History is the memoirs of former United States First Lady Hillary Clinton (ISBN 0-7432-2224-5). 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. [1]. However, the women did not receive co-writing credit on the book's cover.
