'Jersey' Snooki 'writing first novel'

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi has reportedly signed to publish her first book.

The Jersey Shore star is penning a novel titled A Shore Thing for Simon & Schuster, reports Gossip Cop.

The volume will "revolve around a girl looking for love on the boardwalk, one full of big hair, dark tans and fights galore", read a statement from Simon & Schuster.

"I'm pumped to announce to my fans a project that I've been working on for some time," said Polizzi.

She added: "This book will have you falling in love at the shore."

Jennifer Bergstrom, Simon & Schuster editor-in-chief, added: “Who better than Snooki to write a fun, sexy novel about a single girl looking for love on the Jersey Shore?"

The book is scheduled for an early 2011 release.
