Singer Alanis Morissette is eyeing a new career as a writer - she is planning to pen a book about comedy and music.

The "Ironic" hitmaker has dreamed of writing a non-fiction book for years, and now she's finally ready to put pen to paper for a project about her pet subjects.

She tells British magazine Radar, "I've been thinking about a book for a long time but I'm finally getting onto it. I want to write the overspill from the four-minute songs I write. It'll be non-fiction and will be about all the things I care about: comedy, being a woman, music."
