The prospect of a Trump memoir is already filling publishing workers with dread — and could lead to revolt

publishing business is full of workers who lean left politically, but the "best-kept secret in publishing is that so much of the industry is supported by conservative authors," an editor at a Big Five publishing house told Business Insider.

A potential Trump memoir poses a big reward to whoever publishes it, along with a potentially large risk, executives and agents said.Presidential memoirs are a big businessfor the year is Mary Trump's tell-all; Barack Obama's newly released memoir comes in at fifth, and John Bolton's look inside the White House comes in at eighth.

Given the largely progressive leanings of lower-level workers in publishing, though, the Trump-book scenario could mean a left-wing army of assistants, interns, and editors would be selling the book, sending out the emails, and writing the catalogue copy. Some of the lower-level workers we spoke to said they'd try to push back if their publisher took the book; others said they would fear speaking up, but would try to opt out of promoting it.Eric Schultz/AP"This has been a recurring theme for as long as I've worked in books," one worker at Macmillan told Business Insider, saying that at a previous publishing job it felt "terrible" to sell books from conservative pundits.

I’d tell Trump to self-publish while making all the money for himself and not h publishing companies. He’d make a killing!
