    Emily Ratajkowski is publishing a book of essays

    The 'We Are Your Friends' star was "thrilled and humbled" to reveal she has penned a number of essays, under the title 'My Body', with the book's release due in 2022


    Taking to Instagram, she shared: "Thrilled and humbled to announce my book of essays entitled “My Body” will be published by Metropolitan Books @macmillanusa @henryholtbooks.

    "It’s surreal to be working with an imprint that has published so many writers I admire (Noam Chomsky! Edward Snowden!) Now it’s time to get to work! (sic)"

    Metropolitan editor Sara Bershtel said in a statement: "Emily Ratajkowski reveals herself to be devastatingly honest, nuanced, and strong - I'm not surprised that she thinks of herself first as a writer. I also admire how outspoken she is, how political, and how unafraid – what force she'll be!"

    Meanwhile, the 29-year-old model-and-actress previously insisted she never wanted to be famous.

    She said: "I think, for me, the way I use my image and as a model and capitalise off of it has been very much about survival, rather than a representation of who I am.

    "Modelling was an amazing way to make money and gain stability; fame came with that and it was a bizarre thing. Fame wasn't something I had really expected or really wanted - although deep down probably every 20 year old girl wants to be famous a little bit.

    "I feel really good about the fact that everything I've ever put out has been highly curated. What you see online is not my whole life. I think that sometimes people think they know everything about me. 'Oh, we know all about your dog,’ or 'We see your husband...' But that's not really who I am.

    "It's a magazine or it's an editorial, you know? I'm proud of the fact that I protected myself and did the work of privately figuring out who the f*** I am."
