Assange reportedly writing memoirs - Washington Post (blog)

After dumping mountains of secrets about others, Julian Assange is reportedly planning to divulge some information about himself – thoroughly authorized – in his own memoirs. According to press reports, the WikiLeaks founder has signed on with Canongate in Britain and Knopf in the United States to deliver a manuscript by March.

Neither Canongate nor Knopf immediately replied to requests for confirmation.

The Guardian reported that the news first broke through a tweet from Spanish publisher Random House Mondadori. DailyFinance, an online business site, said that Canongate publisher Jamie Byng confirmed the news in an email.

Assange's book will follow a tell-all by his former second-in-command, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, whose "Inside Wikileaks: My Time at the World's Most Dangerous Website," will be published in Germany in January and elsewhere in English shortly thereafter.

Assange was recently released on bail from a British jail after his arrest on a Swedish sex-crimes warrant.
