Lea Michele to Write Memoir BRUNETTE AMBITION

Lea Michele can soon add 'published author' to her list of credits.

According to The New York Times, Harmony Books, a division of of Random House's Crown Publishing Group, announced today that they would be publishing the the Glee and Broadway star's debut book next year, titled BRUNETTE AMBITION.

The work is described as a "part memoir, part how-to and part style-guide," that chronicles Michele's time from growing up in the Bronx, to making it to Broadway, and ultimately on GLEE.

"There wasn't a guidebook when I was growing up, that detailed everything I would need to do, and know, to get where I am today," Michele said in statement today. "But I believe I can write one of sorts: 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."

Michele appeared on Broadway in LES MISERABLES in 1995 as "Young Cosette"; she later played "Eponine" in the 2008 Hollywood Bowl production.

Best known to theatre audiences for her role as "Wendla" in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of SPRING AWAKENING, Michele was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical for her performance. She also starred in the Broadway productions of RAGTIME and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. For her work on GLEE, Michele was honored with a Golden Globe nomination for Best Television Actress - Comedy or Musical and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
