- Has same literary agent as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Elton John
- Publishers want her to speak out about 2007 death of Meredith Kercher
- Has so far kept low profile; TV networks also fighting for first interview
The multi-million battle for Amanda Knox’s story is hotting up as publishers and television networks fight for the world-famous American student who was cleared of murder to sign on the dotted line.
Knox, 24, hired the same literary agent as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Elton John to negotiate a deal - and publishing executives are reportedly ‘falling in love with her’ as she meets with them.
Meanwhile Knox, who successfully appealed a conviction last autumn over the murder of Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, was spotted cycling in her hometown of Seattle, Washington, on Sunday.

Knox has previously said she wants to be a writer. Her story is even more world-famous than that of Casey Anthony, 25, who was cleared of murdering her toddler daughter in Florida last year.
Former University of Washington student Knox spent almost four years in prison abroad but has said little about what happened in public - and that’s what publishers want to get out of her now.
But some publishers are concerned that a seven-figure advance might not be worth it - and there are only a select few who could take that kind of risk on Knox, reported the New York Times.

I can't imagine she knows much more than what the public already knows. So then it'll just be a prison and hardship story. It wouldn't grab me, though a fictional book from Ms Knox might.
