Pippa Middleton Pockets Big Bucks for Book Deal

Although we've seen countless photos of her since the Royal Wedding, Pippa Middleton will now be heard loud and clear. That is, in a book. She's signed on the dotted line to write a party planning book for an imprint of Penguin. It will be released next year just in time for the holidays!

 According to the Mail, she snagged an advance of almost $600,000 to pen the tome. A source told the paper, "It will be about entertaining and how to throw the perfect party. It’s not just about being the perfect hostess – it will also include recipes and information about how to host different types of events." Even more impressive, the 28 year-old will not hire a ghostwriter. She already works as a writer and editor in the party planning field so it sounds like a no brainer to write it herself! As recently reported by RadarOnline, Pippa currently writes a column, Party Time, for her parents' online party supply store.
