Mar 06, 2026
Michael Flamini at St. Martin’s Press acquired North American rights to Is It Too Late to Make a Run For It? by Judi Dench, with Brendan O’Hea, from Sara Scarlett at Penguin Random House UK. Publication is planned for November.
The memoir “will shine a light on Judi’s extraordinary life and career,” per the publisher, and sees Dench in conversation with O’Hea, telling “stories of pranks (both on stage and off), dissects her greatest screen roles, shares tales of her joyful marriage to actor Michael Williams, as well as her passion for nature and animals.”
U.K. and world rights were sold to Daniel Bunyard at Penguin Michael Joseph, which will publish in October.
