Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot in the head by the Taliban, is writing a memoir.
Publisher Weidenfeld and Nicolson says it will release "I am Malala" in Britain this fall. Little, Brown will publish it in the rest of the world.
Yousafzai began writing a blog for the BBC under a pseudonym about life in the Swat Valley, in northwestern Pakistan, in 2009. The Taliban were expanding their influence and sometimes banned girls from going to school.
A Taliban gunman shot Malala on Oct. 9 last year, while she was on her way home from school. The militant group said it targeted her because she promoted "Western thinking" and, through her blog, had been an outspoken critic of the Taliban's opposition to educating girls.
She spent several months in a British hospital undergoing skull reconstruction and cochlear implant surgeries, but was released last month and has returned to school in Britain.
Malala said in a statement Wednesday that she hoped telling her story would be "part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school."
"I hope the book will reach people around the world, so they realize how difficult it is for some children to get access to education," she said. "I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can't get education."
Publishers did not reveal the price tag for the book deal, estimated by the Guardian newspaper at $3 million.
