The year of Amy Schumer continues as news that the "Trainwreck" star has landed a seven to eight-figure book deal is making the rounds.
According to THR, the book, which is titled "The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo," was bought by Simon & Schuster imprint, Gallery Books.
It's "a series of comedic essays looking at the Emmy-winning star's family, childhood and feminist politics," THR reports.
According to EW, the comedienne sold her book for an $8 to 10 million sum. THR's sources were only able to confirm that bids topped $6.5 million.
While EW reported that bidding ended on Friday, THR's sources say that bidding continued through Monday afternoon.
According to EW's version, Schumer's agent sent the proposal to every publishing house in Manhattan. And publishers couldn't even get a meeting with Schumer unless they made a bid on the book first.
THR's sources say that editors had to go to the agent's office to read the proposal and that eight publishers made a bid.
With this big deal, Schumer joins the likes of other funny gals who've turned to writing books, including Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling, and Amy Poehler.
Schumer's representatives didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for confirmation.
