The book, called _The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo_, will be a series of essays on her life and views, ranging “from the raunchy to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing,” her publisher Gallery Books tells _The Hollywood Reporter_. In a statement on the news, Schumer said she was “thrilled” to be working on the book: “Believe it or not there’s actually more I have to say.” _Entertainment Weekly_ had previously [reported](http://time.com/4044514/amy-schumer-book-deal/ "undefined") that Schumer sold the book for a fee between $8 and 10 million; _The Hollywood Reporter_ says a source put it at $9 million. That’s bigger than recent advances for her fellow entertainers Tina Fey, Aziz Ansari and Lena Dunham. Schumer has her hands full with ambitious projects these days: she’s currently writing a screenplay with new friend Jennifer Lawrence and will appear in her first HBO comedy special, _Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo_, on Oct. 17. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/"},"headline":"Amy Schumer's New Book Title Will Exceed Your Expectations","datePublished":"2015-09-24T14:53:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:14:06.010Z","description":"Gallery Books will publish the memoir","url":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/","keywords":["Books","Memoir","Amy Schumer"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5768e409e5df3654/6988652e0b72e30a646e5fc7/amy-schumer1.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5768e409e5df3654/6988652e0b72e30a646e5fc7/amy-schumer1.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press Room","caption":"67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press Room","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic/Amy Schumer","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/books/","name":"Books"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/","name":"Amy Schumer's New Book Title Will Exceed Your Expectations"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Amy Schumer Bows Down to Kim and Kanye at the TIME 100 Gala","description":"Amy Schumer bows down to Kimye_T100 Gala","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/pbfu0JGw/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-22T01:39:18.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/pbfu0JGw.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/","duration":"PT25S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4048153/amy-schumer-book-title/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
