"Sen. Brown is honored and humbled to be approached by many people who want him to tell his inspirational personal story about his life leading up to his election as a United States senator from Massachusetts," Gail Gitcho, Brown's Senate communications director, told Politico. "He will tell his story in a book in hopes of providing insight and encouragement to others and also to ensure that the record is complete and accurate."
Brown pulled off a stunning victory last month over Democrat Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts Senate special election for the seat formerly held by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Brown will work with a collaborator on the book so he is not distracted from his Senate duties, Gitcho said. Politico reports he is represented by Robert Barnett from the law firm Williams & Connolly, who purports to be "one of the premier authors' representatives in the world" and has represented a number of high profile figures including President Obama, former President Bill Clinton and journalist Bob Woodward.
Part of the proceeds from the book will go to charity.
