Johnny Depp to become a book publisher
Actor to publish titles 'that reflect his diverse interests and passions'
Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp is to try his hand at book publishing – but don’t worry ladies, he’s not quitting acting.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has teamed up with HarperCollins to publish books that float his boat, some by famous and others by relatively unknown authors, the company announced on Tuesday.
In the “Infinitum Nihil” collection “Depp will publish titles that reflect his diverse interests and passions,” HarperCollins said, in a statement released by its New York headquarters.
For this dream realised, we would like to salute HarperCollins for their faith in us and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship together
“Infinitum Nihil will be a home for authentic, outspoken, and visionary ideas and voices, from authors both celebrated and unsung,” it said.
The first new title from the imprint will be “The Unraveled Tales of Bob Dylan” by journalist Douglas Brinkley, which is due out in 2015.
“Based on archival research and exclusive interviews with Dylan, the book will set the record straight on scores of issues pertaining to the rock-and-roll legend,” Brinkley said.
“Johnny and I thought the Dylan book was the ideal way to inaugurate the Infinitum Nihil series.”
