The publisher told The Associated Press that the book would be a series of comedic essays inspired by the Emmy-winning comedian's family, childhood and career, AceShowbiz reports. The book will "feature personal and observational stories from Schumer that range from the raunchy to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing," the publisher said in a statement. The publisher has yet to determine the book's final title but "Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo" was the working title used in the proposal. Regarding her memoir, Schumer said in a statement released through the publisher, "I am thrilled to be working with Gallery. Believe it or not, there's actually more I have to say."
