Sen. Elizabeth Warren’ s book‘ Persist’ due to come out in April
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a book coming out about six key experiences and perspectives. The title should be familiar to those who have followed the Massachusetts Democrat’ s career: “Persist .”
Henry Holt and Company announ ced Wednesday that“Persist ,” which the publisher calls“a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action ,” will be released April 20.
“Persist” will refer to Warren’ s recent bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, won by Joe Bid en, but is not a campaign memoir.
“I wrote‘ Persist’ because I remain as committed as ever to fighting for an America that works for everyone ,” Warren, whose previous books inc lu de“A Fighting Chance” and“This Fight is Our Fight ,” said in a statement. “I’ ve written a dozen books, but this one is especially personal: I bring the pieces of who I am to the fight for real change, and I passionate ly believe that we are in a moment when extr a ordinary changes are possible .”
Financial terms for the deal were not disclosed. Warren was represented by Robert Barnett and Daniel Martin of Williams& Con nolly, where clients have ranged from former P re sident Bill Clinton to a political rival of Warren’ s, Sen. Mitch McConnell. A portion of author proceeds from“Perisist” will be donated to the Greater
Boston Food Bank, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, the Worcester County Food Bank, and the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.
Warren became associated with the word“Persist” after a 2017 con front ati on with McConnell, the Senate majori ty leader. Warren was giving a speech on the Senate floor, denouncing then-attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, when Republicans invoked an obscure rule to silence her.
