QUICK TAKES - June 23, 2009
A journalist jailed for four months in Iran on charges of espionage has a book deal.
Iranian American Roxana Saberi, 32, is working on a memoir that HarperCollins will publish in March 2010. Saberi’s book, currently untitled, will tell of her arrest in January, her initial sentence to eight years in prison and her release in May after being granted a two-year suspended sentence.
HarperCollins publisher Jonathan Burnham said Monday that the book would not only cover the time after her arrest, but also her six years as a reporter in Iran.
