Sarah Palin’s publisher plans to announce Tuesday that the title of her eagerly awaited memoir will be “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
Publication is being moved up from spring to Nov. 17 in order to catch the holiday book-buying season. The former Alaska governor has been in huge demand as a speaker, and continues to harvest a bounty of media attention.
A mammoth first printing of 1.5 million copies has been ordered — the same first run as “True Compass,” the memoir of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Palin had a deadline of Sept. 15 for her manuscript and turned it in a bit early. Copy-editing and fact-checking are now underway in a race to meet the crash publishing schedule, which has been accelerated four or five months because of the huge anticipated demand.
After Palin left office on July 26, she went with her husband, Todd, and her children to San Diego, the home of her collaborator, Lynn Vincent, and worked on the book for several weeks.
Later, Palin spent several days in New York, going over the final edits.
Palin mischievously embraced the phrase “going rogue” at the end of her troubled campaign for vice president on the ticket headed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The phrase has its roots in an Oct. 20 story by Slate's John Dickerson, with the lead: "Has Sarah Palin "gone rogue"?"
Fantastic .. ! They know it's going to fly off the shelves for Christmas. Go, Sarah .. God bless you !
the left is going to be happy when they hear this :D
Going rogue from the conservative community, perhaps.
Every time she makes a move, she is flanked by John McCain’s people... still.
Hasn’t anyone else noticed this?
The difference is that Palin will be sold in one's and two's to real people while the Kennedy door-stop will be bought anonymously by the skid-load and sequestered in corners of vacant warehouses by union thugs and other liberals.
home of her collaborator?
They make it sound as if she’s in some Vichy regime or something?
They’re not printing enough. 1.5 million will barely cover the crowd in DC on 9-12.
Huh? Are you on drugs? McCain’s people? They are in the dust!
Right .. DNC will jack up the #’s by buying
massive quantities as ‘mementos’ of the man.
Sarah, you rock.
Personally I focus on her moves, not the hangers-on and bystanders in the background.. To each his own I guess.
Over halfof America loves her, and so do the Japanese, South Koreans and Russians, all who have had dealings with her over commercial fishery and home porting issues.In Japan she i s an icon already, more so than she is here in the USA.(Sahrah Pahrinu, Genki!).
Watch her send the dems into an absolute tizzy.They are already starting to hoot.This is a very good sign.
“Going Rogue: An American Life?”! Why not: “Going Right: An American Life.”

I know now what to get my super-liberal aunt for Christmas.
great idea :D Im sure your aunt will not be able to put the book down :D
As usual, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. The only McCain person Sarah has in her company is Randy Scheunemann, who was the only campaign aide who stood up for her when Schmidt, Davis, Salter, and Wallace were all stabbing her in the back, and Davis fired him for it.
I doubt she would throw the book back at my face..it’s Christmas LOL!
You are the critic with an agenda since you hit Palin every time something is posted about her.
Give specific examples for your criticism so we can respond.

BOOKS: WORLD’s Lynn Vincent teams up with Sarah Palin on a book that promises to set the record straight about the Alaska governor’s personal and political life | Mickey McLean
###
After last week’s announcement that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would pen a memoir to set the record straight about her personal and political life, HarperCollins revealed Thursday that WORLD Magazine Features Editor Lynn Vincent has been signed on as Palin’s collaborator.
The book, not yet titled, will be co-published by HarperCollins imprint Harper and HarperCollins-owned Zondervan and is scheduled for release in the spring of 2010.
During her 10 years as a senior writer and features editor for WORLD, Vincent has covered politics, culture, and hot-button social issues such as abortion for the biweekly news magazine. She has also specialized in narrative journalism.
“Lynn has been WORLD’s best writer of action stories ranging from shots fired in a Texas church to raging fires on California hillsides,” said WORLD Editor in Chief Marvin Olasky. “She combines guts and grace, as does Sarah Palin, so the book should be outstanding.”
Vincent, 46, has collaborated on four previous memoirs. Her most popular collaboration, Same Kind of Different As Me (Thomas Nelson, 2006), tells the remarkable story of Ron Hall, a wealthy white art dealer, and Denver Moore, an illiterate homeless black man, as their lives converge unexpectedly.
The book has sold nearly half a million copies and has stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for more than 59 consecutive weeks, including 29 weeks at No. 15 or above. Through speaking engagements by Hall and Moore, the book has helped raise more than $30 million for homeless shelters nationwide.
“Having worked for more than a decade with Lynn Vincent in what is often a man’s world, I know she brings a rare kind of strong-mindedness and tender-heartedness to every assignment,” said WORLD Editor Mindy Belz. “Lynn is a tenacious reporter and an exacting writer—and I'm not sure when she sleeps.”
While Vincent works with Palin on her memoir, she will take a leave of absence from her writing for WORLD and its online counterparts, WORLDmag.com and WorldMagBlog.
LOL!!:D
Let’s see if this makes the NY Times Best Sellers list (without any reviews by the lamestreams)... You Betcha!
I’ll pay for Palin’s book, but you couldn’t give me Kennedy’s autobiography.
Love Sarah. . .but worry what ‘going rogue’ mightt mean. . .a popular ‘third Party candidate? If so; think Obama will be the winner. Hope not; but am feeling some fear here. . .
He does this on quite a few Palin threads; it’s all he knows to do.
Save a copy for me. This is going to be interesting.
Sheesh, they better start arranging for the soft cover version and print about 15 million copies with another 15 million after Christmas. This book is going to sell OUT.
Uhh...No.
I wish it’s in audio with her reading it...

Isn’t “Going Rogue” a tweak of the McCain campaign? Since they used that term when she went off the scipt and started nailed Obama about his ties with Ayers and other crazy lefties.
A mammoth first printing of 1.5 million copies has been ordered -- the same first run as "True Compass," the memoir of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.All of Fatso's friends in the publishing business will try to make sure the unsold 1.2 million (my estimate) copies of "True Compass" don't wind up on the remainder tables.
And now she flaunts it... GOOD ON SARAH though Meghan McCain will probably have some catty things to say.
Still say she should write a second book....A picture book for libs.
Beautiful pictures of energy production locations in Alaska.
Give her a chance to talk about energy for America, an area she’s an expert, how it can boost the economy etc etc etc.
No, I haven't. Maybe I am distracted by the MSM and pseudo republicans (non campaign people)slamming her every time they get a chance. But I haven't noticed McCain's people doing it.
That's correct. She's engaging in political jiu jitsu - turning her attackers' attack tactic back on them.
The sad thing is that most of these self-proclaimed conservative Freepers who are claiming to be so "concerned", "troubled" or "worried" about the use of the word "rogue" know this. They're simply engaging in disingenuous sophistry.
No, going rogue from the American political community, and romantically rogue in the ways most Americans live their lives. Anybody who has made their life in Alaska has gone rogue, in a way, and for sure commercial fishing is a "going rogue" career compared to most other jobs. Its successful practicioners are hardy, thoughtful, careful, independent-minded self-dependent types to the Nth degree who pretty much deal with life on their own terms, not convention's terms. I know that first-hand from decades of experience.
I imagine many of those characteristics are found in many Alaskans, as they're also in a whole lot of Americans to one degree or the other, and especially in our newer immigrants from other nations who love and will defend American freedom because they've lived elsewhere where there was little or none -- they also are "rogue," and valuable for it. America is at heart rogue in the world.
Palin's sort of the epitome of "going rogue," which is what our Founders and pioneers did in the process of making this greatest nation of all nations in written history.
I read it was taken from a comment by a Slate reporter,
remarking .. has Palin gone rogue ?
LOL ..
Hopefully it will be net advertised and will show up on DU & KOS (other). (referring to ads that are placed randomly on the host site without their knowledge)
I think out of everyone in 12’, Sarah is the most liekable, but I will be disappointed with her if she left the Governership just to rake in the cash. Romney doesnt have a chance in hell, nor does Huckabee. And if McCain decides to run again, he will be in for a rude awakening.
But leaving a prominent position just to make cash smacks of a sell-out. I just hope she uses some of that to help other candidates who are actually conservative win some house seats in 10’. Not sure of her prospects in 12’ though.
On Facebook ... Palin right now has 904,505 supporters.
Go join Facebook like I did, just to become a supporter of Palin, help push her numbers over 1 million, and make a Libtard’s head explode.
“Going rogue from the conservative community, perhaps.”
You’re kidding right?
If you haven’t noticed the conservative community are the rogues against the political machine. The entire spirit of America has always been a rogue against the spirit of the rest of the world.
She couldn’t have chosen a better title for that book.
It’s really going to catch the eye of Generation X and those younger and those who are the ones that need the most sense pounded into them.
Sounds good .. any libs with close to that #?
Hmmm. I’ll have to put it on my Amazon.com ‘Wish List’. ;o)
‘Going Rogue’ is a riff off of what folks were saying about her near the end of the campaign, when she began speaking out a little more on the campaign trail. It probably also refers to her willingness to take on her own Party in Alaska, over the corruption she suspected, and about which she was right.
She left that prominent position, because of the continual lawsuits and ethics challenges that made it impossible to do her work. She's now free to make her comments about this country without the ankle-biters, and frankly, I hope she gets rich from this book!
She will make a lot of money, Im sure. But it puts her in a less than favorable position for a 12’ run. I have several friends who questioned if she can’t take the heat now, will she be able to with a possible Presidential run. Although she is still the best candidate at the present time, compared to the awful garbage that is Romney and Huckster.
Thanks for the heads up on that person.
