Rebel Wilson details her upcoming memoir Pitch Perfect alum, 43, spoke about the “excruciating” process of writing her book Rebel Rising — posted April 2 — in a Wednesday video. She also gave a behind-the-scenes look at her signing of some copies.
In an Instagram Story clip, Wilson signed printed pages from her book as she narrated the video.
“This is how I spend my holiday nights,” she said. “Just a few thousand more for the first people to buy the book.”
“You guys, I mean, I can’t wait for you to read this,” she continued with her memoir. “You will see a whole new side of me. Lots of funny and serious stuff… And we hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it – even though it was painful and emotional at times.”
On Wednesday, Wilson posted a video of herself signing the pages of her memoir.

“Four thousand more. Let’s go,” added Wilson.
Rebel Rising follows Wilson’s unconventional success in Hollywood and her personal struggles with fertility, weight, her sexuality and more.
The actress and comedian exclusively opened up about the “terrifying” but “exciting” experience of writing her memoir to PEOPLE in October.
“I’ve been writing the book for the last 18 months because when I write, I have to be completely alone and isolated,” Wilson said. “It was just this secret thing that I did on my own for 18 months. It’s so exciting now that it’s over.”

The Australian star also admitted that she wasn’t happy with the opening of the book as she struggled to be herself in her writing.
“I think the first few chapters were really s—,” Wilson told PEOPLE. “Then the editor said, ‘This just doesn’t sound like you.’ What I started doing was just sitting there by myself like I was just telling a story to a friend. I’ve just kind of found my writing style — it’s like I’m sitting across from my friend and telling you all the deepest secrets of my life, which is kind of scary.”
