Shonda Rhimes' memoir to be released in November

Shonda Rhimes, one of ABC’s biggest TV creators, is set to publish her first book through Simon & Schuster this upcoming November.

The book, titled Year of Yes, will chronicle her time saying “yes” to unexpected invitations after being dared to do so back in December of 2013.

According to Salon, the Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder creator said she had no plans to document her year of yeses, but decided she could not say no to Simon & Schuster’s offer to write the memoir.

“I had no choice – what else could I say but yes?” she said.

“It’s mind boggling that the mega-talented Shonda Rhimes, one of the most admired and accomplished women in Hollywood, would feel the need to challenge her status quo,” the Simon & Schuster Editor-in-Chief Marysue Rucci said, Deadline reports. “But by saying yes for a year, she truly transformed her life for the better in every way. Year of Yes is surprising, hilarious, poignant, and accessible. It’s easy to imagine the book inspiring a movement and we couldn’t be more excited to publish it at Simon & Schuster.”
