Ellen Came Out -- But Will Her Book?
by Judy Quinn -- Publishers Weekly, 5/5/1997
That's still up in the air, with option holder Bantam recently passing on a proposed second book -- this one reportedly a memoir in which she'll discuss her sexuality -- by Ellen DeGeneres. Agent Mort Janklow is now shopping the book, with Morrow's Rob Weisbach (who signed up Ellen's first, My Point... &I Do Have One, published in 1996) and S&S's Michael Korda rumored to be the two highest-profile interested parties. Rumor also has it that the asking price is nearing $5 million.
