Chris Colfer has landed a YA deal.

From his press release:

When production wrapped on Struck By Lightning, I wasn’t ready to say good-bye to these characters and was thrilled when Little, Brown asked me to adapt the story into a novel. I felt the best way to tell Carson’s story was through his critical eyes in a journal he kept the last months of his life. So  this is a story about adolescence, told through the eyes of a teenager, for other teenagers.

Will Chris Colfer become the next James Franco? Only time will tell...
