If you're a celebrity who didn't write a memoir, are you even a celebrity at all? We're no closer to finding the answer, since Reese Witherspoon just tossed her hat in the ring for a publishing deal with Touchstone.

The memoir will focus primarily on Witherspoon's Tennessee upbringing, but is described by Touchstone as a lifestyle book, likely tied into Witherspoon's brand. According to the Associated Press, Witherspoon described this as a "unique opportunity" to describe her version of "Southern living." The book will contain memoir-esque essays and photographs with a core of Witherspoon's "signature style, grace and charm."

Witherspoon's book will release in 2018.
