LEONA LEWIS TO PEN HER MEMOIRS.

British pop sensation LEONA LEWIS has signed a deal to release her memoirs - at the age of 23. The Bleeding Love singer has teamed up with publishers Hodder & Stoughton to pen her autobiography which is set to hit stores in October (09). The tome will document her meteoric rise to fame since winning Simon Cowell's U.K. TV talent show The X Factor in 2006. Lewis has gone on to top the album and singles charts in both the U.S. and the U.K.

She says, "The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me. So to have it documented in pictures and to be able to tell people in my own words what it feels like means a lot to me. "I know the book will be full of special moments and I'm already having a brilliant time putting it together."
