By Dianna Dilworth 

Comedienne Amy Schumer has a book in the works and according to reports, she has inked a deal for upwards of $10 million after her book was at auction.

Entertainment Weekly has the scoop:

The auction for the recent Emmy winner and Entertainment Weekly cover star’s book concluded last Friday, with the winning bid falling between $8-10 million, a source confirms to EW. (That’s even more than we estimated last June.) Schumer’s agent, David Kuhn, had been circulating the proposal widely across Manhattan publishing houses. Editors had to offer a bid on the book to even get a meeting with Schumer.

According to Publisher’s Weekly, in the book Schumer, will likely recount her childhood and tell her story of how she broke into comedy.
