According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-nominated actress has secured a publishing deal with the Simon & Schuster imprint 37 Ink. The publisher revealed exclusively to The Associated Press that the book, which is currently untitled, is tentatively set for a mid-2016 release.

Henson, who stars as Cookie Lyon in the FOX drama series Empire, will touch a range of topics in the memoir including her childhood in a rough neighborhood in Washington D.C., being a single parent to her son, and her roles in television throughout the years.
