Creative Partners Books has announced that Losing to Win author Randy Jernigan will pen a new book about his 22 years as a freelance celebrity journalist and features writer titled 'Scoop.'
With his 'Stars That Make A Difference' book in its final stages of edit, Jernigan has promised his book company to turn in a 'tell all' about his years as a contributing writer and reporter for some of America's most notorious gossip fueled publications.
'I've kept diaries for as long as I can remember and there's a ton of material that was never used in the stories I worked on,' explained Jernigan. 'Whether it was because the editors decided not to use it or I decided that the material was just too much information about the celebrity,' said Jernigan.
Jernigan made a name for himself by writing features on such stars as Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, and Marie Osmond, just to name a few. At one point in his career Jernigan held the distinction of having the most page one's (a magazine's cover story) of any freelancer in the business, as well as being the highest paid freelancer several years in a row. Jernigan was also a regular contributor to such television news programs as 60 Minutes, 20/20, Hard Copy, Good Morning America and American Journal.
But as for Jernigan's book, don't be fooled by the term 'tell-all.' Jernigan says that most of the features he published in magazines such as Globe, Star, or Britain's Daily Mail were considered tame by most standards. In fact, many celebrities sought Jernigan out when they wanted to release a story and trusted him to be fair and sensitive.
'I've always had a reputation for very high journalistic standards when it came to my work,'explained Jernigan. 'I always insisted on at least three sources for a story and accuracy was very important to me. I was pretty lucky when it came to the editors I worked with. They knew my personal standards and never asked me to do something I wasn't comfortable with,' said Jernigan.
It's believed that Jernigan will be spilling the beans about some of the inner workings of the magazine industry and not just about the stars themselves.
According to FishbowlNY, the Utah-based writer has a full plate of writing projects lined up already for the rest of this year and the next. His next book to be released is an inspirational collection of biographical sketches on Daniel Radcliffe, Ellen Degeneres, Marie Osmond, and Taylor Swift. Another cookbook is in the works as well as a screenplay on Mikhail Bulgakov's book 'Master and Margarita' for a film studio.
'Scoop' is expected to hit stores Summer of 2015 and will be published by Creative Partners Books.
