New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to write a book.
The Democrat who's been governor for 17 months and often uses the word "historic" as a modifier for his accomplishments, including the legalization of gay marriage, says he'll write about his governing philosophy.
Cuomo said Monday he doesn't plan a memoir, but a book on how New York is improving and about its brighter future. Politicians have often written such books before they run for president.
Although his supporters say he would be a strong contender in 2016, Cuomo says he's not thinking about a presidential run.
Cuomo's former chief of staff is looking for a co-author and a publisher.
Two reporters have announced plans to write Cuomo biographies, one with the administration's cooperation.
