Melania Trump has largely remained out of the spotlight during her husband’s third presidential campaign.
But the former first lady is finally breaking her silence.
According to a report from Newsmax, former First Lady Melania Trump is releasing a tell-all memoir slated to come out this fall.
Titled “Melania,” its being billed by her office as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.”
“Melania” will be released by Skyhorse Publishing, which has published works from other Donald Trump supporters like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
Skyhorse also has worked with third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Trump insider Michael Cohen, who later became one of his harshest critics.
Melania Trump’s memoir was announced Thursday by her office. They did not provide a specific release date or mention whether the book would come out before Election Day in November.
Trump 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.
According to the announcement from her office, the former first lady “invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life,” the announcement reads in part. “‘Melania’ includes personal stories and family photos she has never before shared with the public.”
A spokesperson said no information was available beyond what was included in the release, which made no reference to financial terms, promotional plans, or if she worked with a co-author.
Melania Trump has been an enigmatic figure since her husband announced he was running in the 2016 election. She has sought to maintain her privacy even as she served as first lady, focusing on raising their young son, Barron, and promoting her “Be Best” initiative to support the “social, emotional, and physical health of children.”
Recently she appeared at her husband’s campaign launch event for 2024 and attended the closing night of last week’s Republican National Convention, but she has otherwise stayed off the campaign trail.
According to her office, the memoir will come in two versions: a $150 “Collector’s Edition,” 256 pages, “in full color throughout, with each copy signed by the author,” and a “Memoir Edition,” 304 pages, including 48 pages of never-before-seen photographs. The book is listed at $40, with signed editions going for $75.
Both editions are available for pre-order exclusively through the first lady’s web site, MelaniaTrump.com. A spokesperson did not have any immediate comment on when or whether it could be ordered elsewhere.
Unlike other former presidents and first ladies, Donald and Melania Trump have not released any post-White House books through mainstream publishers.
Donald Trump published numerous books prior to becoming president in 2016, having worked with big time publishers Random House and Simon & Schuster.
He has released two books since leaving The White House, including a picture book commemorating his time at the White House and a compilation of letters from world leaders and celebrities.
