NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Amy Schumer is the next comedian to land a high-profile book deal, and according to reports, she's been a behind-the-scenes power-player throughout the way.
After an auction wrapped up last week surrounding the 34-year-old Trainwreck star's book, Entertainment Weekly reports Schumer raked in between $8-10 million from the winning publishing house -- more than many comedians before her. The outlet reports editors had to place a bid on the book before even landing a meeting with the star to discuss it.
