"President Biden is one of America's most respected and influential voices in national and world affairs," said Richard Lovett, CAA co-chair, in a statement.

Only two weeks have passed since he left office, and there are no clear signs that he has a new book or project in the works.
During his previous work with a talent agency, he published his memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose in 2017.
The book, which described the loss of his eldest son Beau, became a number one New York Times bestseller and inspired his American Promise book tour, which many consider a stepping stone to his 2020 presidential run.
