Former Trump aideKellyanne Conwaywill soon publish a memoir about her time in his administration, announcing on Thursday thatHere’s the Deal: A Memoirwill release on May 24.
According to her publisher, the book will offer “a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of the historic 2016 Trump-Pence campaign, and the Trump Administration: details about strategy and decision-making, power struggles, family dynamics, and a one-of-a-kind perspective about Donald Trump.”
Conway tells PEOPLE hers is “a chunky 600 pages, double the length of many books in the genre. I loved writing it.”
Conway was Trump’s final campaign manager in the 2016 presidential election (the first woman to run a winning presidential campaign) before becoming his White House counselor from 2017 to 2020.
Her public loyalty toward the Trumps — even amid accounts thatshe was a favored sourcefor some reporters, which she played down — stirred controversy, as when she spun his falsehoods as “alternative facts” and gavea “free commercial"forIvanka Trump’s products.

Conway’s home life made its own headlines her White House tenure, particularly as her husband, attorney George Conway, became avocal criticand sometimes target of the former president.
In April 2018, whenCNN’s Dana Bash asked herabout her husband’s tweets, Kellyanne shot back, saying, “It’s fascinating to me that CNN would go there, but it’s very good for the whole world to have just witnessed that it’s now fair game how people’s spouses and significant others may differ with them.”

“Long before I joined the Trump campaign and White House, I’d made a career out of calling things as I saw them, with no notes in front of me and no net beneath me. I brought that same approach to this book, which should engage, engross and entertain plenty of people,” Conway said in the release announcing her book.
