LEONA LEWIS TO WRITE AUTOBIOGRAPHY: 'X Factor' winner signs deal with publishing house for book due in October.
*Leona Lewis, the 2006 winner of British talent TV show "The X Factor," will detail her road from Pizza Hut waitress to international superstar in a new autobiography with publishing house Hodder & Stoughton, reports Reuters.
The book will include more than 100 new photographs and is scheduled to hit shelves in October, shortly before the scheduled release of Lewis' second album, the publisher said on Monday.
"The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me," the 23-year-old Londoner told Reuters. In 2006, she topped charts around the world with her debut album "Spirit."
Hodder & Stoughton, which kept quiet about the deal's price tag, said photographs for the autobiography would be taken by Dean Freeman, who also worked on the publisher's collaboration with soccer star David Beckham.
"This will be the first time Leona tells her story of how the X-Factor launched her from waitressing in Pizza Hut in Hackney to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic," said Hodder editor Fenella Bates. "It is a real-life fairytale and every girl's dream."
