Maddie Ziegler, who recently won Choice Dancer on Teen Choice Award 2016, is adding another big entry in her ever-growing resume as she will be releasing not one, but four books.

One of these tomes is a memoir titled "The Maddie Diaries." Ziegler will share how she became one of the biggest young dancers of today and will also give advice to teens like her, according to People.

Set to be published by Gallery Books in March 2017, Ziegler's memoir will retell the 13-year-old's early years in Lifetime, where she was deemed fan-favorite in the hit reality series "Dance Moms."

Ziegler is one of the original cast members on the hit show. She as well as her sister Mackenzie Ziegler (who is also part of the original "Dance Moms" squad) left the show after six seasons.

The youngster is also collaborating with Aladdin Books to release a young adult trilogy, which will tell the story of the unnamed protagonist as she works her way through the "dance circuit" while dealing with dilemmas teens usually face.

In a press release, she revealed that the books will reflect her journey to stardom. She is also using this new project of hers to inspire others "to always keep dreaming and push through the hardships."

The first book will be released in fall of next year, while the second and third book will be released in fall 2018 and fall 2019, respectively. Ziegler is currently working on the novels.

Through these projects, Ziegler is practicing her passion to whip up tales. "I've always been the type of person who really enjoys writing stories," Ziegler told People, adding that she got started with the book right away.

With a lot of gigs in her hands (she is part of the panel in the current season of "So You Think You Can Dance"), rumors about Ziegler returning to "Dance Moms" could be put to rest.

Apart from writing, Ziegler has also dipped her toes in acting. She stars in the Colin Trevorrow movie "The Book of Henry" and is set to play the lead role in her friend and frequent collaborator Sia's upcoming film "Sister."
