Joy will be opening up about her past in a new book.
The View host's book is not yet titled, according to PEOPLE.
According to its publisher, Regalo Press, the upcoming project will showcase Joy's "acute powers of observation and her ability to vividly recreate the little details and fleeting moments that make up a lifetime."
The publisher also said that it will "please both longtime fans and newcomers alike."

While not exactly an autobiography, the new book will be non-fiction and will focus on subjects that Joy is familiar with, including relatives, hair, erections, bullies, and romance.
She will "take aim at everyone and everything, including herself."
However, fans are going to have to wait a bit to read Joy's words as it is not slated to come out until late 2024/early 2025.

IS SHE RETIRING?
Could these new career adventures be because of Joy leaving the View?
She set the record straight during a September episode of the show's podcast, Behind the Table.
Joy sat down with The View's executive producer, Brian Teta, who immediately asked the host about whether she is retiring or not.
"People are always asking me, 'Is it true Joy's retiring? Is Joy walking out?' I said you enjoy this too much. I think you like doing this," Brian told her.
Joy put listeners' minds at ease and admitted that she has no plans on leaving the daytime show anytime soon.
"First of all, people like me don't retire. I'm a creative person…I'm a writer. There's no such thing as retiring. You mean, will I quit this show?" Joy asked.
"Yeah, of course," Brian replied.

Joy got a bit gruesome and said: "Okay, that's a more specific way of saying it. I don't want them taking me out here feet first."
Brian closed the conversation by joking: "No, certainly not, but you'll outlive us all. I'm not worried about that."
