In her autobiography, Leona Lewis will reveal her life story from waitressing in Pizza Hut to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic.

Leona Lewis is just 23 years old. But the British singer has successfully inked a multi-million dollar deal to pen her life story. In an autobiography from publisher Hodder & Stoughton, she will tell all, including her experience becoming a Pizza Hut waitress.

"The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me," the "Bleeding Love" songstress said in a statement on Monday. "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."

Her autobiography will hit bookseller shelves in October and it's said to be "full of special moments". "I know the book will be full of special moments and I'm already having a brilliant time putting it together," Leona added.

Meanwhile, her editor Fenella Bates admitted they are "thrilled" to be working with Leona, saying, "We are absolutely thrilled to be working with a global superstar like her." "This will be the first time Leona tells the story of how the X Factor launched her from waitressing in Pizza Hut in Hackney to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic," Leona's editor revealed.

About the memoirs, Fenella explained, "It is a real-life fairytale and every girl's dream." She went on saying, "Her second album will be released just after publication, so the timing for the book couldn't be better. 2009 will be Leona's year."
