Martha shops a book?
Report: Good living maven plans to publish book about her trial and tribulations.
July 17, 2004: 2:08 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Martha Stewart reportedly plans to publish a book about her legal tribulations.

According to a report in the New York Post, the homemaking diva kept a detailed diary throughout her highly publicized trial for lying to investigators about a stock sale. The Post, citing a source close to Stewart, said she intends to use the diary as the basis for a book on the whole episode.

"It could be worth some real money -- high six-figures or seven-figures," the Post quoted literary agent Nicholas Ellison as saying.

Stewart was convicted last March of obstruction of justice, making false statements and conspiracy. On Friday, Federal Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum sentenced Stewart to five months in prison, five months of home confinement, two years probation, and a $30,000 fine. She plans to appeal the sentence.

Stewart writes a column for her namesake company's Magazine. She also has written numerous cookbooks and how-to books on various homemaking topics.  Top of page
