Another star is making the leap from actor to author. Oscar winner Tom Hanks will publish a collection of short stories inspired by his collection of vintage typewriters.

According to USA Today, Sonny Mehta, the chairman and editor-in-chief of Knopf Doubleday Publishing group, announced the deal on Monday. Formal details of the book deal were not announced but Knopf Doubleday’s webpage details that their company has obtained all rights—including paperback and audio—to the as-yet untitled book. It will be edited by the Senior Vice President of Penguin Random House, Peter Gethers, and the publication date is unknown.

In the release, Hanks said, “I’ve been collecting typewriters for no particular reason since 1978—both manual and portable machines dating from the thirties to the nineties. The stories are not about the typewriters themselves, but rather, the stories are something that might have been written on one of them.”

Hanks’ very first work of published fiction, a science fiction work entitled Alan Bean Plus Four, appeared in the New Yorker last week. In a Q&A in the New Yorker accompanying the piece, Hanks wrote that the motivation to begin writing fiction was simple: “I’ve been around great storytellers all my life and, like an enthusiastic student, I want to tell some of my own.”
