Hawley earned $127,500 in book royalties in 2023, according to his most recent financial disclosure.

That’s likely a windfall from his 2023 book “Manhood,” which argues in part that the political left is waging an assault on traditional masculinity.

But Hawley has another book on the way, as Business Insider first reported in May.

In October 2023, the Missouri senator signed an agreement with Regnery Publishing to write a book entitled “The Awakenings: The Religious Revivals that Made America — and Why We Need Another One.”

It is unclear when that book will be published, but a manuscript is due in January 2025, according to Regnery.

In 2021, Hawley made $467,000 in book royalties.
