Jade: My Autobiography

My Autobiography is a biography written by reality TV star Jade Goody. It was first published in May 2006 [1] by Harper Collins, and a paperback was due for publication in January 2007; however, the paperback never made it to the printers due to Jade being at the centre of bad media attention at the time.[2] The book made it onto The Sunday Times Best Sellers list[3] by December 2006 (only seven months after publication had made Jade nearly £1 million in profits).[2] In May 2008 (two years after the book's publication), Leon Bailey Green, an online media consultant, revealed that the book had sold in excess of 90,000 copies.[4]

Sequel

The book's success fuelled a second instalment that was originally titled Living and Learning,[4] but the name of the book was changed to Jade: Catch A Falling Star.[5] It was published on October 2008 by John Blake Publishing.
