Mom Won’T Ghostwrite Until She Gets $10 Million

Post columnist Cindy Adams reported Monday that Monica Lewinsky’s mother would serve as her ghostwriter and was holding out for a $10 million offer before she “puts pen to paper or Monica puts knife to Clinton.”

Marcia Lewis is the author of a book about the sex lives of famed tenors Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras.

Judith Regan, head of Regan Books, a division of HarperCollins, said publishers have become more cautious about making seven-figure offers because some of the big book deals that sprang from the O.J. Simpson case wound up losing a lot of money.

So far, the tabloid Star has offered Lewinsky $1 million for exclusive rights to her story and HarperCollins has offered $2 million for a book.
