The adventures of Euna Lee and Laura Ling, the two CurrentTV journalists jailed in North Korea earlier this year only to be rescued in somewhat dramatic fashion by former President Bill Clinton already seems like another lifetime thanks to the current state of the news cycle. However, according to Publisher’s Marketplace readers will get an inside look into the experiences of the two women courtesy of Lee who has just signed a six-figure book deal with Broadway Books (an imprint of Random House).

Here is the announcement:

Korean-American journalist Euna Lee’s THE WORLD IS BIGGER NOW: A Memoir of Faith, Family and Freedom, about her experiences, with fellow Current TV journalist Laura Ling, being captured, incarcerated, and condemned to hard labor this year in communist North Korea, recounting the circumstances of her capture on March 17 at the border region of China and North Korea where she and Ling were investigating a story about the trafficking of female North Korean refugees, to Diane Salvatore at Broadway, with Vanessa Mobley editing, by Jennifer Gates and Todd Shuster of the Zachary Shuster Harmsworth Literary Agency.

    • Of course! Why else would they get themselves kidnapped? I'm sure those kids that got detained in Irag for "accidentally" crossing the border during a "hike" will have a book deal waiting for them upon their release. Next up- Euna and Laura reenact their harrowing ideal for a new "reality" TV show. Regarding the book, look for it on the shelf at a Dollar Tree store near you!
