Kelly to write a book!

Virgin editorial director Louisa Joyner has signed up a first book from Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rock legend Ozzy and his wife Sharon.

The book is described as a memoir based on Osbourne's experiences of growing up, from the period before she was famous to her sudden exposure to the media glare following the hit reality TV show "The Osbournes".

She "will draw upon her own extraordinary experiences to help other young women as they negotiate the minefield that is growing up," said Virgin.

Joyner said she was "hugely excited" to be publishing the book, describing Osbourne as holding "a unique place in popular culture, hugely famous and yet totally accessible, a perfect fit for the Virgin list."

M.d. John Sadler said: "We can't wait for Kelly to take the book trade by storm in the way her mother did just two years ago." The as yet untitled debut will be published in May 2009.

This is very exciting news! I think it's great that she's writing a book based on her experiences, so she could reach out to a wider audience and help many people. No news yet on whether it will be a worldwide release or just UK, but I will try to find out more information as soon as possible!
