HarperCollins Wins Cher’s Memoirs

by | Jul 29, 2024 | News

HarperCollins has acquired the two-volume memoir of the singer and pop icon Cher.  Cher the Memoir, part one will be published on 19 November with the second volume to follow next year.  The world rights deal was brokered with Alan Nevins at Renaissance Literary & Talent, with HarperNonFiction Publisher Katya Shipster working alongside Dey Street VP and Publisher Carrie Thornton on the co-publication. The book will be also published by HarperCollins in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, and Brazil.

 

HarperCollins says: “Cher’s life is too immense for only one book.  Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono – and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.  Cher: The Memoir reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother and the superstar.”

 

Cher’s remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center.

 

The publisher adds: “As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship.

 

“With her trademark honesty and humour, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.”
