The Maddie Diaries will be published by Gallery Books in March 2017, documenting Ziegler’s early years on Lifetime, and sharing advice and lessons for other teens and dancers.

In addition, Ziegler – who is now a judge on the kids’ edition of So You Think You Can Dance, and Aladdin Books will release a trilogy of novels for middle grade readers, penned by the dancer.

The first book in the series, which is about a young dancer, will hit bookstores in Fall 2017, followed by numbers two and three in Fall 2018 and Fall 2019, respectively.

Ziegler’s protagonist will navigate the competitive dance circuit, while handling the woes of the average pre-teen girl.

“I’ve always been the type of person who really enjoys writing stories,” Ziegler tells PEOPLE of her foray into the literary world. “So when I found out I would be writing books, I was so excited that I got started right away!”
