Melania Trump releasing 'intimate' memoir
Melania Trump has a memoir coming out this autumn which her office describes as an “intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life”.
The memoir, simply titled Melania, was announced by the former first lady’s office on Thursday, which said it would feature personal stories and family photos “she has never before shared with the public”.
Key details such as whether it has been co-authored and a specific release date have not been disclosed yet by her office, which billed it as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence”.
It will come in two versions: A $150 (£116) “collector’s edition” consisting of 256 pages “in full colour throughout, with each copy signed by the author,” and a “memoir edition” with 304 pages, including 48 pages of never-before-seen photographs.
The book is listed at $40 (£31), with signed editions going for $75 (£58).
Mrs Trump, Donald Trump’s third wife, has been the subject of other books, including one by former adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, but she has never told her own story at length before.

She has sought to maintain her privacy even as she served as first lady, focusing on raising their son, Barron, and promoting her “Be Best” initiative to support the “social, emotional, and physical health of children”.
While she appeared at her husband’s campaign launch event for 2024 and attended the closing night of last week’s Republican National Convention, she has otherwise stayed off the campaign trail.
Her decision not to deliver a speech at this year’s convention marked a departure from tradition for candidates’ wives, and from the 2016 and 2020 Republican gatherings.
The book is being published by Skyhorse Publishing, which has published works by Donald Trump supporters including former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, attorney Alan Dershowitz and former attorney Michael Cohen, who later became one of his harshest critics.
