Jessie Paege is entering the literary world. The 18-year-old YouTube star, whose upbeat, varied videos have helped her emerge as a rising star on the internet, has landed a two-book deal with Sizzle Press, an imprint of Bonnier Publishing USA. For the first part of that partnership, she will release an activity book called Hey, It’s Okay To Be You, which will feature advice for her young fans and exercises for them to complete.
In her first book, Paege will seek to motivate and inspire readers by dispensing advice drawn from her own experiences growing up. Interspersed among those segments will be a series of games, writing prompts, and challenges, which will entertain Paege’s fans as they explore the details of her life.
Paege introduced Hey, It’s Okay To Be You in a recent video. The book is currently available for preorder, and will become available on November 7. It retails for $12.99.
Paege is represented by Clayton Santillo at Scale Management, United Talent Agency, and SGSBC.
