The book will expand “upon the witty and ironic dispatches for which she is known,” according to publisher, Touchstone.

The Oscar-nominated actress will discuss “memorable moments throughout her life,” from her middle-class upbringing in New England becoming a Hollywood name.

“I’m excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I’d like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude, pettiness, and the frequency with which I embarrass myself,” said Kendrick.

“And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well-educated and accomplished comedy writers, I’m very, very funny on Twitter, according to Buzzfeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea. Quick question: are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit!”

The book is due to be released in autumn 2016.
