Background
editOn May 23, 2013, it was reported that Michele had landed a book deal with Random House and Harmony Books to write an autobiography, chronicling her rise from Broadway actress to the star of the Fox comedy-drama series Glee.[4] In the announcement, Michele said, "There was not a guidebook when I was growing up, that detailed everything I would need to do, and know, to get where I am today. But I believe I can write one of the 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."[5]
Related books
editIn June 2014, shortly after the release of Brunette Ambition, it was reported that Michele would write a follow-up.[6] The second book, titled You First: Journal Your Way to Your Best Life was published on September 22, 2015, by Crown Archetype.[7]
