Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren agreed to write another book, Persist.
The book, which will be published by Henry Holt and Company and released on April 20, will include anecdotes from her failed 2020 presidential run, but the book itself will not be a memoir of the campaign, according to the Associated Press.
“I wrote ‘Persist’ because I remain as committed as ever to fighting for an America that works for everyone,” Warren 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 passionately believe that we are in a moment when extraordinary changes are possible.”
The publisher called it “a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action.”
The financial terms of the deal have not been announced, however, a portion of Warren’s proceeds from the book 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, whose previous books include A Fighting Chance and This Fight is Our Fight, became associated with the word “persist” after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell invoked an obscure rule to silence her during a speech on the Senate floor denouncing then-attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions.
“Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech,” McConnell said. “She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”
