Roger Moore goes to HarperCollins US
16.01.08 Alison Flood
HarperCollins US has swooped on the US rights to Sir Roger Moore's memoirs, paying almost $1m dollars for My Word is My Bond. Negotiations over a UK deal are still ongoing, with agency Pollinger hoping to tie up a deal by the end of the week.
The book was first shown to publishers at the Frankfurt Book Fair, when agent Lesley Pollinger said she was hoping for £1m for world rights. It will share Moore's recollections of playing his most famous roles--including James Bond--his fears of serious illness, and his work with Unicef, HarperCollins US said.
Agent Tim Bates at Pollinger said this morning that a deal was "very close to being agreed" for UK rights.
