Serena Williams will write about her life on and off the tennis court in an upcoming memoir for Grand Central Publishing, which beat out several other publishers in a fierce bidding war for her story.
"Serena Williams is one of the world's most remarkable athletes," Grand Central editor Karen Kosztolnyik said Tuesday in a statement. "We've watched her rise to No. 1 despite physical and emotional setbacks, and her hard work and determination have inspired legions of fans young and old. Serena will give her memoir a strong motivational slant."
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but an official with knowledge of the transaction said bidding reached at least $1.3 million, according to the Associated Press.
The 26-year-old has won nine Grand Slam titles and a gold medal in women's doubles at the recent Beijing Olympics with her sister Venus.
