Oprah Winfrey may have influenced literary culture with her renowned book club, Oprah’s Book Club — but now she’ll dish on her life lessons in her own memoir titled The Life You Want.
The media mogul and philanthropist signed a memoir deal with New York’s Flatiron Books — a division of international publishing company, Macmillan Publishers. Her tell-all memoir is set to be released in January 2017, according to a statement obtained by The New York Times.
“I’m still learning and I hope my story inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves,” Winfrey said according to the statement.
Winfrey has a collection of work in O, The Oprah Magazine and a number of published books including, What I Know For Sure, but this upcoming memoir is expected to get considerably personal.
“All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life,” she added.
Winfrey will also have her own publishing imprint at Macmillan that will focus on publishing nonfiction titles, as part of the deal, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
“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,” Bob Miller, president and publisher of Flatiron Books, said in the statement.
We’re ready to be inspired, Oprah!
