Sarah Palin has garnered more than fame from her failed Vice-Presidential bid. She is reportedly close to making a book deal for $7 million.

"Bill Clinton made over $10 million for his deal seven years ago," a publishing insider told Radar. "That was more than any other former President."

Palin offers more than just a political memoir with flashes of sexual mea culpa.

"She has huge appeal to a segment of the female reading public, and her private life hasn't been an open book," our source told us. "Not yet."

The book would be crafted with a ghost-writer and the goal will be to get it in stores in time for Christmas of next year.

"Though if I were publishing it, I'd shoot for Mother's Day, 2010," our source added.
