Not All Disgraced Politicians Get Book Deals: Ex-Congressman convicted of sexting with a 15-year-old girl, Anthony Weiner, is having a tough time finding a publisher interested in his book proposal

Anthony Weiner is on the prowl for a book deal and Ian Mohr from the New York Post looks at the publishers that have passed.

Anthony Weiner is trying to transform himself into the next Longfellow.

The serial sexter and former congressman — who is now living in a Bronx halfway house after doing hard time for sexting a teenager — is skulking around Manhattan’s publishing houses trying to shop a book proposal, literary sources say.

So far, interest has been flaccid.

“Every Simon & Schuster imprint has passed,” an insider told The Post.

The project is being repped by the hot downtown boutique agency Foundry Literary + Media — which was behind nonfiction best-sellers by “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino.

It was unclear what sordid chapters Weiner’s book would address — or if he would write under his nom de perv, Carlos Danger.

But there is certainly enough material in his Shakespearean fall from mayoral candidate to registered Level 1 sex offender.

Not to mention plot twists like his now-defunct marriage to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and his cameo in the 2016 presidential election as the man who may have sunk the former secretary of state’s chances when the FBI found hundreds of thousands of her emails on a laptop belonging to him.
