Publisher releases title
of Amy Schumer essays

Amy Schumer’s upcoming book has an indelible title.

Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced recently that Schumer is calling the book “The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo.” It’s scheduled to be released on Aug. 16. As the title might suggest, the essay collection will “feature personal and observational stories from Schumer that range from the raunchy to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing,” according to Gallery.

Schumer’s deal with Gallery was announced last September, following a run of success that included her hit movie “Trainwreck” and an Emmy for her Comedy Central show “Inside Amy Schumer.”

Ginsburg book will be
in her own words

The next book about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be straight from the “Notorious RBG” herself.

Simon & Schuster announced that Ginsburg’s “My Own Words,” a collection of speeches and writings, will come out in January 2017. Ginsburg, who turns 83 next week, will help select the material and provide an introduction.

Ginsburg’s authorized biographers, Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, also will contribute introductions, along with excerpts from interviews they have conducted with the justice. Simon & Schuster will publish their Ginsburg book, but hasn’t set a release date.

Ginsburg already is the subject of a best-selling biography, last year’s “Notorious RBG,” by Irin Cannon and Shana Knizhnik.
