Yahoo! has a headline from yesterday that Miley Cyrus is writing a memoir. Okay, okay, she’s only 15 but she probably has quite a lot to tell. Maybe. I’m guessing.
Disney-Hyperion is publishing the book and it will release in spring 2009.
I’m neutral on the topic, I guess. It’ll be interesting to see if she’s an even bigger star in 2009 or if she has faded like many of the young stars. (Um, Hillary Duff, where are you?)
I haven’t read many memoirs. After the James Frey debacle, I did start to look at them in a different way. But I also don’t want to skip a genre just because one guy screwed up.
Would you ever write a memoir? I’d love to years from now. I’ve published lots of personal experience essays and I’m glad I’ve logged the big moments from my life in print. I’ll always have that and it’s almost like a public diary of sorts. Over the summer and fall, when I’m in between books, I’ll be working on querying more magazines with personal experience pieces and hope I can keep sharing bits and pieces of the different things I’ve been through with others. 🙂
So, would you read the Miley memoir? Or would the wondering if it’s mostly ghost-written bother you? Read the article here.
