Penguin Random House Sets Date to Release Michelle Obama’s Memoirs

by | Mar 11, 2018 | News

Penguin Random House has announced that the United States former first lady Michelle Obama’s highly anticipated memoir, “Becoming,” will be released on November 13, 2018.

The book will be published in 24 languages simultaneously around the world, including Arabic. It will be released in the United States and Canada by the Crown Publishing Group.

The book chronicles the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood in Chicago and her years as an executive, balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at one of the world’s most famous address.

The publisher agreed to pay more than $60 million to the former US president and his wife for each of their books.

Barrack Obama’s book is expected to be published in 2019. The couple have committed a large portion of the proceeds to charitable organisations.
