Paige Van Zant secures book deal

February 1, 2017 by Jason Cruz 5 Comments

Paige Van Zant has signed a deal with Hachette Book Group to release her first book according to Fox Sports.

The Dancing with the Stars alum states that it’s a memoir about her life.  The 22-year-old is coming off an octagon loss to Michelle Waterson at UFC on Fox 22 this past December.

There is no release date for the book as of this time.

HBG has a bestselling authors list that includes Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Malcolm Gladwell among others.

Payout Perspective:

A memoir from a 22-year-old?  Of course. PVZ is capitalizing on her popularity as this time.  Despite losing 2 out of her last 3 fights, her success on Dancing with the Stars, her bubbly personality and looks make her an appealing individual to feature.  It’s similar to the Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor model of utilizing all avenues, including book publishing, for business.
