Amy Schumer Lands Book Deal for a Rumored $8M-$10M Advance

Comedian Amy Schumer has reportedly been paid an advance of $8m-$10m (£5m-£7m) for a book of essays.

According to Entertainment Weekly, an auction for the Trainwreck writer and star’s essay collection came to a close on Friday, although their source did not name the publisher.

Trade magazine Publishers Weekly had reported two weeks ago that the book was expected to explore “Schumer’s childhood, how she got her big break in comedy, her family and feminism,” with those interested in reading the material asked to sign non-disclosure agreements.
