Knopf to Publish Memoir by Virginia Roberts Giuffre

Emily Cunningham at Knopf acquired world rights to Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, detailing her fight for justice following years of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein. The agents and agency were unnamed in the deal due to concerns over security, a Penguin Random House spokesperson confirmed. The book is slated to publish on October 21. 

In Nobody’s Girl, Giuffre offers an “unsparing account of her time with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” who the author originally met in the summer of 2000 at the age of 16, according to the publisher. After their initial encounter, Giuffre endured more than two years of sexual abuse, a period during which Epstein and Maxwell also trafficked dozens of her friends and associates.

“In these intimately rendered pages, [Giuffre] charts her journey from victim to passionate advocate for herself and anyone reckoning with sexual abuse,” said Knopf EVP, publisher, and editor-in-chief Jordan Pavlin. “[The book] offers a raw and shocking record of the depravity she was subjected to within Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s orbit.”

Giuffre collaborated on the book with Amy Wallace over the course of four years prior to her death by suicide on April 25, 2025. A first printing of 250,000 copies has been announced.
