Actress, singer, and now author? Anna Kendrick has landed a book deal.

The 29-year-old Pitch Perfect 2 star will pen a collection of autobiographical essays, scheduled to hit shelves in fall 2016, Touchstone announced Thursday in a statement.

“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,” the Oscar winner said in the announcement.

She also joked, “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.”

The funny girl already boasts an impressive résumé that includes an Academy Award nod for 2009’s Up in the Air, an Oscar performance alongside Neil Patrick Harris in February and a hit single with her radio jam “Cups” (Pitch Perfect‘s “When I’m Gone”).

Not to mention some notable lip-syncing skills that she debuted Thursday on Lip Sync Battle.
