Washington, Aug 30 : US Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann has reportedly signed a publishing deal for her upcoming memoir.

Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group (USA), has announced that the Bachmann's memoir will be out in November, and has already been completed. The book, reports of which were first circulated in
June, is currently untitled.

However, it declined to comment on reports that Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund co-wrote the memoir, Fox News reports.

As a member of the House of Representatives, Bachmann is not permitted to receive an advance against royalties. Virtually all of the Republicans candidates have published books, a standard for modern
presidential campaigns.

According to Sentinel, Bachmann will "share previously untold stories" about her private life, "including her roles as a tax attorney, a wife, a mother of five and a foster mother of 23."

"People are the most important ingredient in life. I love people, and I care deeply that our nation''s economy turns around so they can realize their American dream. This book will help to share my enthusiasm for an
energized, pro-growth economy, and the life experiences that inform my optimism for the American people and for American greatness," Bachmann said in a statement issued Monday through Sentinel.

Bachmann formally entered the race to seek the GOP nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012 in June. By August, she was celebrating a win in the closely watched Iowa Republican straw poll, a
test of strength in the leadoff caucus state. But Texas Gov. Rick Perry''s decision to join the field has weakened Bachmann''s standing in the polls.

Doug Sachtleben, a Bachmann spokesman, said the book rollout shouldn''t detract from her campaign.

"Throughout Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida, the congresswoman has kept a full schedule of meeting and talking with thousands of people, and she will continue with that full campaign schedule
all through the days up to and beyond the release of her memoir," Sachtleben added. (ANI)
