Fired FBI Director James Comey is writing a book that will cover his tumultuous tenure during the Trump administration.

Comey, who has been meeting with editors and publishers in New York in recent days, plans to write about his experience in public service, the New York Times reports. 

Don’t expect the conventional tell-all memoir. Comey plans to explore the principles that have helped him through some of the most difficult times of his long legal career. Those include the investigation of Hillary Clinton and his recent spat with Trump over the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the presidential election.

“It’s a book about leadership and his search for truth, informed by lessons and experiences he’s had throughout his career, including his recent experiences in the Trump administration,” said Matt Latimer, a partner at literary agency Javelin. “It will speak to a broader desire in our country for more ethical leadership.”

Latimer said all of the major publishing houses have expressed interest in the book, which is expected to go to auction soon.
