Book publishers Sphere have described the 320-page book as a “fun, fish-out-of-water romantic workplace comedy” about an American woman, Lauren Morgan, who quits her job at the White House for one at Buckingham Palace.
Scobie has co-authored the book with US young adult fiction author Robin Benway.
As well as the book, Royal Spin has already been snapped up by Universal Television, which is developing a series based on the text.
Scobie will work as a writer, co-creator and executive producer alongside showrunner Emily Fox. Benway will also serve as executive producer.
Former Sphere Commissioning Editor Rebecca Roy acquired the book from Meredith Miller at United Talent Agency, which represents Scobie, in a six-figure deal.
Elisha Lundin, Senior Commissioning Editor at Sphere Fiction, said: “Royal Spin is a sharp, swoon-worthy romantic comedy with irresistible charm, witty banter, and a backstage pass to the inner workings of the palace.
“With a fish-out-of-water heroine, a scandal-prone royal institution, and enough intrigue to keep readers hooked, Scobie and Benway deliver a fresh, playful take on love and scandal in the most high-profile of settings.
“I can’t wait for readers to dive into this royally entertaining romance.”
