Venture Literary Sells ABC and ESPN Broadcaster’s Inside Look at College Football

Frank R. Scatoni of Venture Literary sold North American rights to Game Day: A Rollicking Journey to the Heart of College Football by ABC and ESPN broadcaster Craig James to Stephen Power at John Wiley & Sons.

In Game Day, James provides fans with an inside look at the entire 2008 college football season—from his behind-the-scenes Spring Tour, where he met with players and coaches from twenty of the best programs in the country, to the regular season, where he will be on the road broadcasting the ESPN Thursday night game and live in the ABC and ESPN studios every Saturday covering the national scene, and culminating in the BCS bowl season, when all eyes are on the AP Poll and the BCS National Championship Game. Sprinkled throughout will be stories of James’ playing days at SMU and in New England, and the encounters he’s had with many greats in the sport—“Bear” Bryant, Eric Dickerson, and Doug Flutie, to name just a few.

For the last twenty years, James has been America’s most recognizable, most insightful, and most outspoken college football analyst on television. His work for ABC and ESPN—College GameDay, Thursday Night Football, ESPN The Magazine, and Pardon the Interruption—has reached more than thirty million college football fans.
