Per the official synopsis, the book will span “her six decades in show business from Broadway to Hollywood with A Chorus Line, Dirty Dancing, Gilmore Girls and much more.”

Bishop has enjoyed a long collaboration with Gilmore creator Amy Sherman-Paladino. In addition to the WB/CW hit and its Netflix revival, she co-starred in Sherman-Palladino’s short-lived ABC Family/Freeform ballet dramedy Bunheads. More recently, she recurred as a ruthless matchmaker on her Emmy-winning Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

“If you don’t have good material, you don’t have good television,” Bishop told TVLine in 2016 at the premiere of the Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. “And [Amy gives us] really good material.”

In a statement to People, Bishop said: “From my first steps onto a Broadway stage, to the town of Stars Hollow, I am excited to take my fans along with me through the story of my life.”

The Third Gilmore Girl is slated for release on Sept. 17.
