Dolly Parton’s posthumous secret memoir is reported to have been sold to Grand Central Publishing for $13 million following an intense bidding war, according to entertainment reporting. The deal is described as occurring shortly after her death, with outlets citing Page Six as the source of the information.
Multiple reports say Grand Central Publishing has not yet commented on the claim that it won the rights to publish the memoir. The coverage largely focuses on the reported sale price and the competitive nature of the negotiation, rather than on the book’s content or planned publication details. While the overall facts align across outlets, they differ mainly in how prominently they foreground Parton’s death timing and the “secret memoir” framing.
