President and Publisher Deb Futter acquired the book; Esther Newberg of ICM negotiated the deal. Of the acquisition, Futter adds, “Henry Winkler is one of the most beloved actors in America...his fans both young and old are devoted to the core. He has led an extraordinary life which will translate into an extraordinary memoir"

The memoir is currently untitled and will be published in 2024.
