Natascha and kept her in this room in his home for eight years until she managed to escape
Ms Kampusch, now 22, made headlines around the world after she escaped from her captor Wolfgang Priklopil in 2006. He killed himself hours later.
Her spokesman Wolfgang Brunner told the newspaper: 'It is true that Ms Kampusch is working on her autobiography, this is her main focus at the moment.'
She is also working on a film of her story, due for release in 2012, and has chaired her own talk show and made several carefully planned media appearances since her ordeal.
Austria reeled over another abuse scandal in 2008 when it emerged that Josef Fritzl had imprisoned his daughter Elisabeth in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, one of which he murdered through neglect.
He was jailed for life last year.
Austrian media have reported that both Elisabeth and her father are also penning their life stories.
