The “Most Fascinating Person of 2015” – Caitlyn Jenner plans to tell-all with a memoir to tell the story about her life – and the changes that came along the way.
Jenner officially announced plans to release a memoir with the help of the award–winning journalist Buzz Bissinger – who penned her Vanity Fair’s cover story – through Grand Central Publishing. Currently, the reality star is yet to give title to this project, and an accompanying audio edition is tentatively scheduled for a debut by Spring 2017.
“Things have been moving so quickly that it will be nice to slow things down a bit and take the proper time to reflect on this journey,” Jenner said in a press release. “I couldn’t pick a better team, in Grand Central and Buzz, to make sure this story is told with a lot of honesty and care.”
Her interview last April with Diane Sawyer, was where she publicly confirmed for the first time that she was in the process of transitioning.
After this widely watched interview, she was showered with praises, admiration and awards in American media, including the ESPY’s Arthur Ashe Courage Award, a Glamour Woman of the Year Award, a spot on Time’s Person of the Year short list and the title of “Most Fascinating Person of 2015” granted by Barbara Walters. With the list of newly acquired credentials, the producer and athlete has much to document, including of course the six decades of athletic success and reality show ties.
“I elected to do this with Caitlyn because of the opportunity to create a book that will be riveting, important and reveal all the complexities and twists and turns of her life from boyhood to transition,” Bissinger said about the project in a press release. “We both agree that nothing can be left out in capturing this unique and unprecedented journey. This is her story and I am proud to play a role in telling it with grace and candor.”
“Caitlyn Jenner’s story is not just a compelling memoir—it is an odyssey of courage and perseverance that represents an important chapter in our cultural evolution,” VP and Executive Editor Gretchen Young said in the release. “I am thrilled and honored to be working with both Caitlyn and Buzz Bissinger in bringing it to light.”– Source
