While Corden and Jones will also "explore the flourishing of their own real-life friendship" in the book.
Corden and Jones will appear at the Hay Festival - which takes place in Hay-on-Wye, Powys - on Friday, May 23 where they will discuss their latest project and their 25-year friendship and working relationship.
“After dominating the TV schedule with the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, it feels like the perfect moment to hear them on the art of screenwriting, storytelling in collaboration, and Wales’ cultural impact.”
Hay Festival will run from May 22 to June 1 in 2025 and will also feature the likes of Sir Stephen Fry, Paloma Faith, Michael Sheen and Succession writer Jesse Armstrong.
