Amy Winehouse's personal journals to be published in new book 'In Her Words'
Amy Winehouse's personal journals are to be published in a new book, 'In Her Words', giving fans a deeper look into the late singer’s thoughts and life.
Announced yesterday (April 26), plans for the book were revealed via Winehouse’s social media, which is being handled by her estate.
An official description for the forthcoming title says it will feature the singer’s “own never-before-seen journals, handwritten lyrics and family photographs together for the first time,” to provide “a rare insight into the girl who grew up to become a legend.”
Coming this August, a new book, Amy Winehouse: In Her Words, will shine a spotlight on Amy’s incredible writing talent, her wit, her charm and lust for life.

‘Amy Winehouse: In Her Words’ will also feature a foreword by her parents, Janis and Mitch Winehouse, who revealed their thoughts on the upcoming book: “This beautiful new collection of Amy’s notes and musings shows another side of Amy – her fun and witty side. We wanted to share this with Amy’s fans so that they too can enjoy Amy, in her words”.
According to Rolling Stone, the singer's estate will reportedly donate the entirety of the royalties the book receives from sales to the Amy Winehouse foundation, promising a “minimum donation of £70,000".
‘In Her Words’ will be published on August 29, just two weeks ahead of what would’ve been the singer’s 40th birthday, as a full-colour, 288-page hardcover book. Pre-order your copy here.
