AceShowbiz - Oprah Winfrey has signed a deal with Flatiron Books to launch her own memoir "The Life You Want". Set to be released in January 2017, the book promises to reveal never-before-told stories about Oprah.
Oprah is currently in the very earliest stages of the writing process. In a statement, the former host of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" says, "All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life. I'm still learning and I hope my story inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves."
As part of the deal, Oprah is also starting her own publishing imprint at Macmillan, which will focus on nonfiction and publish a handful of titles a year chosen by the talk show host.
Bob Miller, president and publisher of Flatiron Books, says, "We're deeply honored to publish 'The Life You Want,' which is such a remarkable combination of Oprah's life story and the lessons we can all draw from it for our personal growth. We're also thrilled to give a home to Oprah's imprint titles. We all know how extraordinary Oprah's instincts are when it comes to choosing books, instincts borne of her lifelong love of reading and the power of the written word."
