“My greatest joy has been the connection I’ve shared with fans over the years. William Shatner… And You is a celebration of them: their stories, their passion and the bond we’ve built together,” said Shatner to People magazine.
The book’s official website encouraged “fans to submit their stories” about ways “William Shatner has impacted your life” for the book.

While Shatner once made fun of passionate Star Trek fans in a classic 1986 SNL skit, he assured Trekkies that he does enjoy interacting with them during an October 2020 interview with Galaxy Con. According to Shatner, “Talking to another human being is a great joy to [him].”
“I love to communicate. I love to hear what people have to say. And what their story is. Trying to get in what their story is,” said the actor during the interview. “So when people ask me a question, the very nature of the question is somewhat revealing as to who they and what they are. And the great joy I have is answering the question. And getting into what the questions says about them. So there’s an interplay between the fans and me that I really get a kick of.”
