NEW YORK — The next book from MSNBC anchor and NBC News correspondent Katy Tur will combine the personal and the professional.
Tur has a deal with One Signal Publishers/Atria Books for the memoir “Rough Draft: Motherhood & Media in a World Gone Mad,” in which she will open up about everything from childhood to journalism to becoming a parent. Tur, daughter of journalists Zoey Tur (formerly Bob Tur) and Marika Gerrard, is also the author of “Unbelievable: My Front Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in History,” her best-selling account of covering Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The new book is scheduled for November.
“’Rough Draft’ is for me not a story of the last four years, but the last 40,” Tur said in a statement Tuesday. “I watched my parents revolutionize the breaking news business, then break apart themselves, a fact I ran from until I had no choice: write this book or walk away. I chose to write.”
Tur, 37, is married to “CBS This Morning” co-host Tony Dokoupil. Last week, she gave birth to their second child.
