So far, the deal encompasses three titles under the Fox News Books imprint. The first book will be authored by the Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth and release on Nov. 24. The second book will be by FOX News anchor Shannon Bream. The third book hasn’t been announced. The CEO of HarperCollins said in a statement, “The combination of FOX News Media’s powerful content and marketing with HarperCollins’s print, digital, and audiobook publishing and distribution in the US and internationally is a winning combination for authors, readers, listeners, and viewers of Fox News Media everywhere.”
