Britney Spears will reportedly publish a tell-all book as part of a deal said to have reached $15m.

The memoir will address her career, her personal life, and her family, Page Six reported on Monday (9 February) citing publishing insiders.

According to the publication, Simon & Schuster reached the deal during a bidding war with multiple publishers.

The Independent has contacted Simon & Schuster for more information.

The report comes three months after Judge Brenda Penny ended the conservatorship that had previously regulated Spears’s life and finances for almost 14 years.

Spears’s sister Jamie Lynn Spears published a memoir of her own, titled Things I Should Have Said, in January this year.

Britney Spears shared a message aimed at her sister on Instagram following the book’s release, writing: “The timing of your book was unbelievable Jamie Lynn … especially knowing the whole world had no clue what was really done to me !!!!”

Also in January, Britney Spears sparked talks of a possible book deal when she shared a photo of a typewriter on her Instagram account, with the caption: “Shall I start from THE BEGINNING???”

Earlier this month, the singer revealed she had been invited to share the story of her conservatorship battle with the US Congress.

“I received this letter months ago … An invitation to share my story … I was immediately flattered and at the time I wasn’t nearly at the healing stage I’m in now,” Spears wrote on Instagram, adding that she was “grateful that my story was even ACKNOWLEDGED”.

“Because of the letter, I felt heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life!!!” she added.
