Amy Schumer will finally share details of her life with the world

The year of Amy Schumer continues, with Gallery Books announcing that it has a deal with the actress and comedian for a memoir.

“Believe it or not,� Schumer said in a statement, “there’s actually more I have to say.�

Schumer’s memoir, due for release in late 2016, continues the recent trend of popular female TV comedians writing books that often end up wildly successful (surely what Gallery is counting on with Schumer). The category includes not just Tina Fey’s “Bossypants� and Amy Poehler’s “Yes Please,� but Lena Dunham’s “Not That Kind of Girl� and Mindy Kaling’s two memoirs, “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me� and the newly released “Why Not Me?�

The difference between Schumer and the other actresses who’ve written memoirs is that, as a comedian, Schumer already shares so much of herself and her life with audiences.

In truth, much of Schumer’s success is linked to the fact that she has no qualms about sharing anything and everything about her private life with audiences, no matter how intimate. When interviewed about their “Trainwreck� collaboration, Judd Apatow said of the first time he heard Schumer, “I heard her on Howard Stern, and she was talking about her dad a lot, who has multiple sclerosis, and what she was saying was really painful, but it was also really honest and warm and funny.�

Schumer knows how to share herself and her story, that much has been proved time and again. The question is if there comes a point of oversaturation and whether audiences will decide they just don’t need to know any more about Amy Schumer.

Probably not.

Though little has been confirmed about the project, Entertainment Weekly reports that several publishing houses were competing for the book, with the winning bid landing somewhere between $8 million and $10 million.

That’s a nice bonus for Schumer, who has already has had a banner year with the release and success of “Trainwreck,� the Apatow film she wrote and starred in, as well as the Emmy win for her show “Inside Amy Schumer.� The comedian is also in the process of writing a screenplay with new best friend Jennifer Lawrence, in which the pair would play sisters.

According to Gallery Books, the memoir is currently untitled, but aims to “offer personal and observational stories from Schumer that range from raunchy to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing.�

Carolyn Riedy, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, Gallery’s parent company, said in a statement, “Now readers will have the opportunity to meet Amy Schumer as a writer of real talent, a daughter, a sister, and a young professional making her way in the world.�
