Five-time major champion Maria Sharapova has seen more of the world before 30 than most of us see in our entire lifetime—and now she’s preparing to tell the world about it. The Russian announced that she has an autobiography in the works, due out in 2017.

"Back in December, I walked out of a casual book meeting and got inspired to live through my journey on paper. A few of my written paragraphs went around publishing offices and I received the unexpected honor to work with Farrar, Straus and Giroux on my very first book,” Sharapova wrote on Facebook today.
Sharapova has chosen Rich Cohen to co-author the book. An American, Cohen most recently wrote “Monsters,” the critically acclaimed story of the 1985 Chicago Bears. He has written ten books as well as magazine articles for The New Yorker, The Atlantic and Vanity Fair, where he’s a contributing editor.
