Three years ago, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard lead Patrick Stewart announced that he was beginning work on his memoir, and today the actor-turned-writer’s book was formally announced for an October 3, 2023 release date.

Making It So: A Memoir will arrive this Autumn from Gallery Books, as both 432-page hardcover tome and an audiobook read by Patrick Stewart himself.

From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations with his indelible command of stage and screen.

 

Now, he presents his long-awaited memoir, Making It So, a revealing portrait of an artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.

Stewart spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his forthcoming book in a new interview, where he spoke about his experience writing the memoir.

“Every moment of working on it has been thrilling for me because it was a brand-new experience,” Stewart says. “It took me a while to realize how immersed I was. This will sound rather pretentious, but it would take some time for me to shift my head from my childhood, my teenage years, my first experiences as an actor, back to today and now and, what did I really want for supper?”

He also revealed that a book tour is in early development, where he expects to travel around promoting Making It So; more details are expected to become available closer to the book’s October release date.

Making It So: A Memoir by Patrick Stewart can be preordered through many retailers worldwide.
