Actress Anna Kendrick has signed a deal with a publishing company for her first book.
According to the publication company Touchstone, the book will be a collection of humorous autobiographical essays and is expected to be released in fall 2016, reported Ace Showbiz.
"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," Kendrick said.
"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 29-year-old actress added.
Title of the upcoming book is not yet known. It will deal with everything about Kendrick's life ranging from growing up in Maine to her blockbuster success on the big screen, including her hit films "Up in the Air" and "Pitch Perfect".
Besides, it will tell about the once-in-a-lifetime experiences she has had working with notable co-stars.
