The actor, writer and director is about to publish her first book – let us know what you’d like to ask her
In September, the acclaimed actor, screenwriter and director Michaela Coel will publish her debut book, Misfits: A Personal Manifesto (Ebury Press, £9.99). It will draw on her 2018 MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV festival, in which she talked about feeling like an outsider, and made a case for embracing our differences rather than attempting to fit in.
Last year’s I May Destroy You, the 12-part BBC/HBO comedy-drama she created and starred in alongside Weruche Opia and Paapa Essiedu, addressed issues of consent and sexual assault, social media, race and class. It won two Baftas and three Bafta Crafts awards and is nominated for nine Emmys. The Guardian named it the best show of 2020.
