MAITLAND WARD’S TELL-ALL
‘RATED X’ LANDS SEPTEMBER 6 RELEASE
Fans of Maitland Ward that have been awaiting the July arrival of her new memoir, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood, will have to wait a bit longer, as publishing imprint Atria Books/Simon and Schuster announced that the book’s official release date has been moved from July 5 to September 6.
The AVN Award-winning adult film performer and mainstream actress, who is currently prepping her new streaming series The Big Time for an autumn unveiling, explains that she is enthusiastic about the 256-page tell-all’s new launch date.
“I wanted to get the word out that my book’s release date has been moved back a couple of months to September, which is historically the most coveted time period to launch a new title, so I’m actually quite excited about this new turn of events,” says Ward of the nine-week delay.
Ward is also touting the book—which the flame-haired star calls “one of the proudest moments of my career”—has already topped Amazon’s pre-sale lists since its official cover announcement back in December, and fans can still count on her dropping racy excerpts from the tome “in the coming weeks and months—stay tuned!”
