Chelsea clinton biography book deal

Penguin Random House, a Clinton Foundation donor, announced its book deal with Chelsea Clinton last week.

The book is being published by Philomel, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers.

The publisher donated between $1,000 and $5,000, according to the Clinton Foundation website.

A Clinton Foundation spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon the donation was made in 2007, well before Chelsea's book advance was announced.

Penguin Random House has not disclosed how much Chelsea’s book advance is worth, but the Clintons have received some of the largest publishing advances in recent history.

Alfred A.

Knopf, whose parent company, Knopf Doubleday, is now under the Penguin Random House umbrella, paid Bill Clinton an advance of $15 million for his 2004 memoir, My Life. At the time, it was the largest advance ever paid to an author.

Hillary Clinton’s Hard Choices received a $14 million ad
