Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe has landed a memoir deal. Sidibe has become well-known for starring in the 2009 film adaptation, Precious.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) will release the book in 2017. Senior executive editor Deanne Urmy negotiated the deal with Kuhn Projects literary agent David Kuhn.
Sidibe had this statement in the HMH announcement: “I’ve been writing since I was a child and have always had so many stories to tell that are too long, shady, and impolite to share in interviews. It brings me much joy to add Published Writer to my resume of Actor and part-time Foot Model.”
Vogue writer Dara-Lynn Weiss has scored a book deal with Random House’s Ballantine imprint for a controversial memoir about helping her seven-year-old daughter lose weight. The deal sprang from an April Vogue piece that the Jezebel has dubbed “The Worst Vogue Article Ever.”
What do you think? Here is an excerpt from the essay: “I cringe when I recall the many times I had it out with Bea over a snack given to her by a friend’s parent or caregiver … rather than direct my irritation at the grown-up, I often derided Bea for not refusing the inappropriate snack. And there have been many awkward moments at parties, when Bea has wanted to eat, say, both cookies and cake, and I’ve engaged in a heated public discussion about why she can’t.”
The new book has the tentative title, The Heavy. David Kuhn from Kuhn Projects negotiated the deal with Marnie Cochran. The publisher described the book as “an experience that epitomizes the modern parenting ‘damned if you do/damned if you don’t’ predicament.”
