Announcing her latest project through an Instagram post, Kaling wrote, “It’s so exciting for me to share the secrets of how I balance being a professional writer, actor, and single mom in a new collection of essays." Her previous books, ‘Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me’ and ‘Why Not Me,’ were best-sellers published by Penguin Random House.
This new development continues Kaling’s partnership with Amazon after the company acquired the U.S. rights to her comedy Late Night, which is set to hit theaters on 7 June, following its premiere at Sundance in January.
