Keke Palmer is venturing into the publishing world once more. The versatile actress recently announced her new book project, "Master of Me," which is slated for publication by Flatiron Books in November.
Palmer took to Instagram to announce the news, expressing uncertainty about when she might embark on another book project. However, she felt compelled to share her thoughts at this particular juncture. Palmer conveyed that the book symbolizes personal growth, marking a new chapter in her life. She aimed to impart the wisdom she had acquired and recognized that her journey of self-evolution was ongoing.
Following the success of her recent book released in 2017, "Master of Me" will step into Palmer's story of self-realization and the determination that has been propelling her career. Palmer will travel back to her past and discuss her personal setbacks, such as setting boundaries, forgiving others, and understanding herself while talking about her spiritual path and measures that helped her take control of her life and gain inner awareness.
Palmer mentioned her excitement about the release of the book and said that she also believes that the readers are experiencing this way too and are all trying to love and be able to understand themselves. She hoped to recount her own experience in the book, adding that she is not writing to help the readers but to encourage them to share their own thoughts. Palmer also acknowledged that despite outward appearances, everyone faces challenges and moments of isolation.

Though initially hesitant to pen such a candid and sincere book, Palmer revealed that she has undergone significant self-discovery in the past year. She believed that, despite our differences, we encounter similar life experiences.
Palmer noted that she has changed and now sees things differently, embracing the growth process. She feels that being part of the first generation with documented evidence of personal growth in real-time can be daunting, but she is unafraid to explore it. Last year, she felt like a 'Big Boss,' but now she sees herself as the master of herself and her readers, encouraging them to take charge of their own lives.
Despite the serious topics covered, Palmer assured readers that her book will also incorporate moments of humor. She shared that readers can anticipate laughter and an in-depth exploration of her inner thoughts and self-reflection, delivered in true Virgo fashion.
In addition to discussing her experiences with motherhood and various relationships, Palmer will also explore her evolving career. Currently hosting the NBC game show "Password," now in its second season, Palmer made history in 2023 by becoming the first woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Game Show.
Palmer, known for her Emmy-winning performances, has a history in publishing. In 2021, she collaborated with romance novelist Jasmine Guillory on a series of short stories titled "Southern Belle Insults," featuring her alter-ego Lady Miss Jacqueline. The collection, described as uproariously funny, provides insight into Keke's viral phenomenon.
Palmer also released "I Don't Belong to You" in 2017. The book was titled after her 2012 single. This empowering guide urges young readers to embrace freedom, confidence, and love in contemporary society. Through candid discussions on sexuality, race, anxiety, and body image, Palmer offers insights for navigating life's challenges.
"Master of Me" is scheduled to be released on November 19 and is now available for pre-order wherever books are sold.
