Melania Trump to Release Memoir This Autumn

Melania Trump is set to release her memoir, titled simply "Melania," this autumn, offering what her office describes as an "intimate portrait" of her life. Announced on Thursday, the memoir promises to include personal stories and family photos that have never been shared publicly before. While specific details regarding co-authorship and the exact release date remain undisclosed, her office emphasizes the book as a "powerful and inspiring story" of a woman who has navigated challenges and defined her own path. The memoir will be available in two editions: a $150 collector's edition featuring 256 pages in full color, each signed by Melania Trump, and a standard memoir edition priced at $40, which includes 304 pages and 48 never-before-seen photographs. Signed copies of the standard edition will retail for $75. This marks a significant moment for Melania, as she has not previously shared her story in depth, despite being the subject of other works, including one by former adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. Throughout her tenure as First Lady, Melania Trump maintained a focus on privacy, prioritizing her son Barron and her "Be Best" initiative aimed at promoting children's health. Although she made appearances at her husband's 2024 campaign launch and the recent Republican National Convention, she has largely stayed away from the campaign trail, notably opting not to deliver a speech at this year's convention, a break from tradition. The memoir will be published by Skyhorse Publishing, known for its association with various Donald Trump supporters, including former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
