Melania Trump will publish her memoirs, her office announced Thursday, as the former first lady prepares to tell her own story after years of being defined by her marriage to Donald Trump.
“Melania” will be the “powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has forged her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence,” her office said.
The book is due to be published in the autumn, but no specific date has been given. It is not clear whether it will be published before or after the elections.
The memoir will include “personal stories and family photographs that have never before been shared with the public,” his office said.
“May your experience reading my book be as enjoyable as the process of writing it was for me,” Melania Trump wrote on X about the book.

“I am proud to publish Melania Trump’s profound personal memoir, MELANIA, in which she shares surprising experiences from her childhood, her career in international fashion and her time as First Lady of the United States,” Tony Lyons, president and publisher of Skyhorse Publishing, Inc., told DailyMail.com in a statement.
“The book is a diligent and historically important record of our country’s turbulent recent past, as seen through Melania Trump’s privileged vantage point. It conveys her core beliefs of unity, hope, and goodness, and beyond what one thought one knew about this most private of women, there is something more, and something deeper, in these pages.”
The former first lady has been the subject of many biographies and books, but this is the first time she has told her story.
It is unclear whether he worked with a co-author and whether he will go on a book tour.
Melania Trump, 54, has been something of an enigma in public life.
Donald Trump’s third wife is intensely private and spent much of her White House years focused on raising her son Barron, then a teenager.
After the Trumps left the White House, she kept a low profile.
She has not been heavily involved in her husband’s 2024 White House campaign. She appeared at his campaign announcement and at the Republican National Convention, where, unlike other candidates’ wives, she opted not to address delegates.
Melania will sell a $150 collector’s edition with 256 full-color pages, with each copy signed by her.

She has yet to appear at any campaign rallies, did not attend the first presidential debate and has been careful to distance herself from her husband’s legal troubles.
There have been reports that she will not live in the White House full-time if Trump wins the November election.
