Winfrey, who is best known for her talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated TV programme of its kind in history, has written a book that uses her life story as a source of inspirational advice to others.
“All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life. I’m still learning and I hope my story inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves,” stated Winfrey.
Pan MacMillan, the UK general book publishing arm of the Macmillan Group, has acquired the memoir and aims to publish the book simultaneously with sister company Flatiron Books in the USA and Canada. Pan Macmillan Australia will publish the book in Australia and New Zealand and Pan Macmillan India and South Africa will publish the book in their respective markets.
“Oprah is astonishing. There is no other word for her. The Life You Want will be a landmark publishing event,” stated Anthony Forbes Watson, managing director of Pan Macmillan.
The Life You Want by Oprah Winfrey will be published in January 2017.
