Esteemed collaborator William Novak is just finishing work as cowriter on Little, Brown's hot May release, A Change of Heart: A Memoir, the story of Claire Sylvia, who underwent a heart transplant and felt "connected" to the donor (a first-person take on the topic the above-mentioned Pearsall book will explore). Next on Novak's list is a completely different LB project: he's been tapped to work with George Stephanopoulos on the Clinton aide's memoir, recently signed up for a reported $2.75 million advance and expected to be published in early 1998.
