No One Wanted Anthony Scaramucci's White House Book

ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI COULDN'T SELL WHITE HOUSE MEMOIR BECAUSE PUBLISHERS THOUGHT IT SUCKED: REPORT

BY LAUREN GILL ON 11/20/17 AT 6:08 PM

The Mooch can't make it as a writer.

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has scrapped his plans for a political memoir after publishers decided his drafts weren't good and lost interest, Business Insider reported Monday.

Scaramucci, who worked 10 days in the White House, shopped several versions of the book to major publishers over the summer, under the titles "Inside Out" and "I Did It My Way." One employee working at a major publishing house said the company saw a 35-page draft in October, which the worker deemed "not good."

Scaramucci tells a different tale. The former New York financier and full-time publicity hound claims he walked away from the project because he didn't want to write a coveted tell-all that might hurt his relationship with President Donald Trump.

"Mine was on resiliency, how to get up on what you thought was going to be your 12th day in the White House, but it's not. That sort of thing," Scaramucci said about his ideal version of the book.

How in holy fuck do you write a "memoir" of your time in the White House when you got canned after a week and a half?

co-writer like O'Reilly always used so that he could go around talking about the book he had written (even though the other guy wrote 99.9% of it). The Mooch wanted some "co-writer" (not a ghost writer since their names are on the cover though in small print) and nobody wanted their name associated with him.
