Boyle signs book deal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 April 2010
Susan Boyle has struck a publishing deal with Transworld for her autobiography, which will be out in time for Christmas. It may or may not run as follows: “I was a miserable nobody, I went on telly, I became an overnight megastar, now I’m a miserable celebrity”.
Boyle said in a statement: “When I strutted onto the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie, still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I’m not so frightened any more”.
She continued: “I’m writing this book to try to show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and I hope it will benefit other people. My story demonstrates that you shouldn’t just look at the label, you should look at the whole person, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope that telling it will show that dreams are not impossible, if you’ve got courage and a willingness to go on no matter what the circumstances”.
