AceShowbiz - "I know the book will be full of special moments and I'm already having a brilliant time putting it together," British pop singer Leona Lewis expresses her optimism about her upcoming autobiography, slated to be released in October. The book, which title isn't made public, will detail her rise from waitress to superstar, a two-year journey that she describes as "an unbelievable experience."
"This will be the first time Leona tells her story of how 'The X-Factor' launched her from waitressing in Pizza Hut in Hackney [East London] to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic," publishing house Hodder & Stoughton's editor Fenella Bates says in a statement. "It is a real-life fairytale and every girl's dream."
Leona's highly anticipated autobiography will as well include more than 100 behind-the-scenes photographs taken by photographer Dean Freeman, who has previously worked with soccer stud David Beckham on his collaboration with Hodder & Stoughton. Leona herself admits having her life story being "documented in pictures" and on her "own words" means a lot to her.
Leona Lewis, who was the winner of the third series of British reality show "The X Factor" in 2006, rises to international stardom with her debut album "Spirit", which earned her several prestigious awards and nominations. She is expected to release her sophomore LP in October, shortly after debuting her autobiography.
