Lea Michele to write ‘intimate’ memoir

Lea Michele has signed a book deal to publish her memoirs.

The tome will be a “personal and intimate” account of the Glee actress' life and trace her rise from Bronx schoolgirl to international TV star.

The actress, who plays Rachel Berry in the US show, will give readers a “behind-the-scenes perspective” of her career and share tips on how to stay fit and focused on your goals.

The 26-year-old Emmy nominee’s first literary effort has been snapped up by Harmony Books and is set to hit shelves next spring.

"There wasn't a guidebook when I was growing up, that detailed everything I needed to do, and know, to get to where I am today," Lea said in a statement. "[It’s ] not a how-to-make-it-in-show-business book, but a guide to harnessing tenacity, passion, enthusiasm, and hard work to make your dreams come true."

Before winning her breakthrough role on Glee, the multi-talented entertainer starred in Broadway show Spring Awakening. She also appeared in 2011 comedy New Year’s Eve alongside Ashton Kutcher.

Lea isn’t the only Glee star to have put pen to paper. Co-star Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays Tina Cohen-Chang on the hit show, released a book titled Choosing Glee: 10 Rules to Finding Inspiration, Happiness and the Real You.

Chris Colfer - Glee’s Kurt Hummel - branched out into a younger market and published children’s novel The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell. His second book, The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns, is out in August.
