Oprah Winfrey set to tell all in new memoir

Along with the memoir deal, Winfrey has also secured her own imprint with Macmillan, which will release a handful of nonfiction titles each week. The book is scheduled for publication in January 2017.

It might seem a little early to predict the biggest book of 2017, but there is already a leading contender: Oprah Winfrey’s memoir.

Announced Thursday, the book will reveal “never-before told stories” from Winfrey’s life experience and aim to motivate others to live to the fullest.

The former chat show queen and OWN TV boss is known for her love of books. In 2014, Oprah published What I Know for Sure, a collection of her columns from her magazine, but this is her first full-length book.

Winfrey is well known in the publishing world for her televised “Book Club” segment, which has seen many of her selections hit number one on Best Seller Lists since she plugged them.

“All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life”, Winfrey said in a statement.

Her latest move is set to explore her life story in a bid to inspire people.

She might be one of the richest people in the world, and indeed the only black billionaire in America, but surprisingly, with all her business ventures in mind, Oprah Winfrey has yet to unveil an autobiography. We’re also thrilled to give a home to Oprah’s imprint titles.
