Boston's longest-serving Mayor Thomas Menino has tapped writer Jack Beatty to assist him in writing his memoirs scheduled for release next spring.

“It’s a story of my 20 years as mayor, the things we’ve dealt with, and the changes we’ve seen,” Menino told Boston.com.

Beatty, a senior editor for The Atlantic, also won the 1993 American Book Award for "The Rascal King: The Life and Times of James Michael Curley."

The book is to be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Menino did not say how much he is getting paid to write his memoirs.
