 Flatiron Books announced Thursday that Winfrey's "The Life You Want" is scheduled for January 2017 and will show how "anyone can put their life on a new trajectory." Winfrey's imprint doesn't have a name yet, but will feature several nonfiction works each year. Winfrey has already generated numerous best-sellers in the past 20 years through her TV and online book club choices. 
 
 Winfrey said in a statement that she hopes her story "inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves." She resisted writing a memoir in the past, cancelling a planned release in 1993. 
 
 "What I Know for Sure," a collection of her "O'' magazine columns, was published by Flatiron in 2014.

 Oprah Winfrey, whose book club produced dozens of best sellers, is now writing a memoir that will draw on “her own story as the source of inspirational advice.” 
 
 It will be called The Life You Want and is due out in January 2017, Flatiron Books announced Thursday. 
 
 In addition, the publisher said Winfrey will be given her own book imprint, which will publish several non-fiction titles a year, chosen by her. (The imprint does not yet have a name.) 
 
 In a news release about her new book, Winfrey said: “All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life. I’m still learning and I hope my story inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves." 
 
 Last year, Winfrey wrote What I Know for Sure, a collection of her columns from O, The Oprah Magazine. It reached No. 52 on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list. 
 
 Bob Miller, president and publisher of Flatiron Books, said in a release: "We're deeply honored to publish The Life You Want, which is such a remarkable combination of Oprah's life story and the lessons we can all draw from it for our personal growth. We're also thrilled to give a home to Oprah's imprint titles. We all know how extraordinary Oprah's instincts are when it comes to choosing books, instincts borne of her lifelong love of reading and the power of the written word." 
 
 Deadline.com reported several days ago that Flatiron was the front-runner in a reported eight-figure auction for Winfrey's book. 
 
 Winfrey made headlines this fall when she bought 10 percent of Weight Watchers and the company stock soared.
