Miley Cyrus to write her memoirs
Miley Cyrus, author.
The multi-hyphenate teen star has signed a book deal to tell the story of her young life, it was announced Tuesday. The memoir by Cyrus, who stars in the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” is planned for release next spring.
Disney said the book will focus particularly on the guidance of Cyrus’ mother, Leticia.
“I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me,” the 15-year-old singer-actress said in a statement. “I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.”
The Disney Book Group, in a clear bit of synergy for the Walt Disney Co., has world rights to the book. Disney said Cyrus’ book will feature previously unseen photos, family stories and “a look at her inner circle of loved ones.”
The book, the first by Cyrus, will be published under the Disney-Hyperion Books imprint.
Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus.
