Monica Lewinsky sells mysterious tell-all book to acclaimed editor who worked on Joe Biden memoir

Monica Lewinsky has sold a book, sources exclusively tell Page Six. 

Publishing insiders tell us that the tome has been snapped up by acclaimed editor Reagan Arthur, the SVP and publisher at Hachette’s one-year-old imprint Cardinal. 

Arthur previously edited President Joe Biden‘s forthcoming memoir, “Promise Me, America,” for publisher Little, Brown. Biden’s book is out Nov. 17.

Lewinsky’s memoir was sold via WME agents Suzanne Gluck and Alyssa Reuben. Reps did not get back to us.

It’s unclear what will be in the book, and whether Lewinsky — who’s become a podcaster and anti-bullying activist — will address her infamous 1990s Bill Clinton scandal during her days as a White House intern.

We exclusively reported last month that Lewinsky, 53, was shopping the project to publishers.

Lewinsky has never penned an autobiography.

Back in 2012 it was widely reported that she landed a deal for a tell-all that would spill salacious details on her relationship with Clinton — including racy love letters.

But she then denied the book sale in a 2014 piece for Vanity Fair, titled “Shame and Survival,” about the Clinton scandal and its aftermath. 

“In 2008, when Hillary was running for president, I remained virtually reclusive, despite being inundated with press requests. I put off announcing several media projects in 2012 until after the election. (They were subsequently canceled — and, no, I wasn’t offered $12 million for a salacious tell-all book, contrary to press reports.),” Lewinsky wrote in VF at the time.

The mag touted the essay with a web headline that still reads, “Exclusive: Monica Lewinsky Writes About Her Affair with President Clinton,” saying, “She tried public appearances. She tried being reclusive. She tried leaving the country, and she tried finding a job. But the epic humiliation of 1998, when her affair with Bill Clinton became an all-consuming story, has followed Monica Lewinsky every day. After 10 years of self-imposed reticence, and now hoping to help victims of Internet shaming, she critiques the culture that put a 24-year-old through the wringer and calls out the feminists who joined the chorus.”

Sources close to Lewinsky have remained tight-lipped about the new book project, and it’s unclear so far when it will drop.
