Journalist Katie Couric is writing a memoir, "Unexpected," that is slated to be released in spring of 2021, book publisher Little, Brown and Company told The Associated Press.

Couric, who has been in journalism for roughly 40 years, said in a statement to the AP that she is "excited to share what it was like being at the center of so many historic events and game-changing stories."

“I’ve experienced so much, both professionally and personally, but have never really had an opportunity to reveal what was going on behind the scenes. I’m excited to share what it was like being at the center of so many historic events and game-changing stories," Couric said.

"I’m also ready to talk about the fascinating and sometimes challenging people with whom I’ve worked, the radical transformation of my industry, and the heartbreaking losses I’ve endured," she added.

The memoir will include details about her perspective on the #MeToo movement, the death of her first husband from cancer and her battles with bulimia and insecurity.

Couric during her career has worked for the "Big Three" television networks, CBS, NBC and ABC. She had stints as a co-host of NBC's "Today," as an anchor for "CBS Evening News" and as a correspondent for CBS's "60 Minutes."

In her memoir, Couric will reflect on her time at each network and on some of the notable interviews she conducted, the book publisher told the AP.

“Booking such big interviews is a story unto itself, and Couric will recount the often ridiculous behind-the-scenes machinations that went into scoring the many big ‘gets’ throughout her career,” the publisher said. “Sixty-two years in the making, ‘Unexpected’ will be the inspiring, instructive, entertaining account of someone we all feel we know. And in some ways we do — but, as ‘Unexpected’ will reveal, we don’t even know the half of it.”
