HarperCollins plans to publish an illustrated memoir about pop star Justin Bieber this October in the U.S. and U.K.

Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager, and Creative Artists Agency recently sold the rights to "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story" to Anna Valentine, HarperCollins' non-fiction senior commissions editor in the U.K., and Emily Brenner, vice president and publisher of HarperFestival in the U.S.

"Justin's adoring and devoted fan base that started on YouTube now follows him to packed concert halls around the world," says Susan Katz, president and publisher of HarperCollins Children's Books. "He is a force in the music industry and we are incredibly excited to be publishing this photographic memoir of his amazing journey."
