Silvertail to publish Wright's Scientology exposé March 3, 2016,
Independent publisher Silvertail Books is set to publish an investigation into Scientology by Pulitzer prize-winning author Lawrence Wright, three years after it was pulled in the UK by Transworld.
Publisher Humfrey Hunter bought UK and Commonwealth rights including Australia to Going Clear, from James Pullen at Andrew Wylie.
The book will uncover the "inner workings" of the Scientology church after Wright used archival research and more than two hundred personal interviews with current and former Scientologists to write the expose.
Transworld was set to publish the title but pulled it in January 2013, with the publisher saying at the time: "We've decided it doesn't fit in with our schedule but it will be published by Knopf in the States."
