Anna Kendrick‘s one of those people who can do anything: She acts, she sings, she lip-syncs and she might even master cold fusion before she’s 30. But she hasn’t written a book yet, and that that’s about to change.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kendrick’s just signed a deal to publish a book of humorous essays which will expand on her often hilarious tweets. Ever wanted to know the backstory behind one of her jokes? Well, now you’re going to learn everything about what it was like to grow up in New England as well as how “absurd” her journey from Maine to Hollywood was.

Even Kendrick’s announcement about the book is a funny humblebrag about how popular her tweets are:

“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 in statement from Touchstone.

“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,” the statement read. “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!”

Well, her mom isn’t wrong, but if the rest of the book is filled with grammar questions like this one, her copyeditor should get equal billing on the title page.
