The first memoir by former First Lady Melania Trump, titled “Melania,” is set to hit shelves this fall. This motivational account of her life is being published by Skyhorse Publishing and promises to be a compelling narrative of her journey, her personal triumphs and the obstacles overcome.

Since leaving the White House, Melania Trump has largely remained away from public view. Now, she is set to give readers an inside perspective of her life. The release announcement details that the memoir will provide a unique insight into the life of the former First Lady, with the sharing of previously unseen family photos and personal anecdotes.

The memoir is set to launch on September 24, 2024, a few weeks before the election, and will be available in two versions. The “Collector’s Edition,” a 256-page volume in full color and signed by Melania Trump, will retail for $150. The “Memoir Edition,” featuring 48 pages of never-before-seen photos within its 304 pages, will be available for $40, with signed copies priced at $75. Pre-orders for both editions are available exclusively on Melania Trump’s official website.

Skyhorse Publishing, known for its politically charged and controversial releases, will oversee the publication process. The publishing house has previously worked with Trump supporters like attorney Alan Dershowitz and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and other notable figures such as Michael Cohen and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

There were no additional details from Melania Trump’s office spokesperson regarding the financial terms, promotional plans, or the potential involvement of a co-author.

Melania Trump, a Slovenia native, relocated to the United States in 1996 to start her modeling career. She met Donald Trump in 1998, and they married in 2005. Their son, Barron Trump, was born a year later.

During Donald Trump’s presidency, Melania Trump maintained a low-key public presence, focusing on raising their son and promoting her “Be Best” initiative, which emphasized children’s social, emotional, and physical health. She has noticeably stepped back from the typical campaign involvement often seen from candidates’ spouses during her husband’s ongoing presidential campaign.

Melania Trump made a rare public appearance at her husband’s 2024 campaign kickoff event and the closing night of the Republican National Convention. However, she broke from past tradition by choosing not to deliver a speech at the convention, a departure from her actions in 2016 and 2020.

Unlike other former presidents and first ladies, Donald and Melania Trump have not used mainstream New York publishers for their post-White House publications. Donald Trump has released a picture book celebrating his time in office and a collection of letters from global leaders and celebrities through Winning Team Publishing, co-founded by his son Donald Trump Jr. and former campaign staffer Sergio Gor.

Skyhorse Publishing’s President, Tony Lyons, characterized the book as “a diligent and historically important record of the turbulent recent past of our country, seen from Melania Trump’s unique vantage point.” He added, “It conveys her core beliefs of unity, hope, and kindness, and whatever you thought you knew about this intensely private woman, these pages contain something more — and something deeper.”

The memoir, “Melania,” is set to be a high-profile release this fall, giving readers an unprecedented glimpse into the private life of a significant figure in recent American politics.
