Publisher Canongate has acquired the rights the actor’s diaries, which will be published as The Diaries of Alan Rickman in autumn 2022.
The Diaries of Alan Rickman will be published by Canongate around the world, and by Holt in the US.
The diaries of the late actor Alan Rickman are to be published, with 27 handwritten volumes of his “witty, gossipy and utterly candid” thoughts about his career and life spanning more than 25 years set to be edited down into a single book.
Rickman began writing the diaries by hand in the early 1990s, with the intention that they would one day be published.
