The second book in the "Rookie Yearbook" series
"Rookie" is an independent online magazine made by and for teenage girls. It was created by Tavi Gevinson in 2011, when she was just fourteen years old; today, about a third of the magazine's staff are teenage writers, photographers, and illustrators.
"Rookie" launched in September 2011; six days after its debut the site hit one million page views. One year after that, the online publication reimagined itself in deluxe print form with "Rookie Yearbook One," an anthology of the best features from the site's first nine months, plus a sticker sheet, a flexidisc, and original artwork. Now, "Rookie"'s sophomore year is collected in "Rookie Yearbook Two" a second anthology that's just as visually stunning as the first, and filled with even more content.
On its second birthday, "Rookie" averages more than 450,000 unique visitors and 1.2 million visits per month (and counting), with 205,000 Tumblr followers. The "Rookie" yearbooks reach that audience and beyond, spanning a diverse group of kids who may have found "Rookie Yearbook One" on the shelves of their local library or been given the book as a gift from an adult who laments not having had "Rookie" around when they were a teenager.
Like the site itself, the "Rookie" yearbooks combine personal essays by young girls; advice about style, sex, friends, and school; fashion; gorgeous photo albums; humor and pathos--in other words, everything a teenage girl thinks and cares about--as well as interviews with and contributions from notable adults such as Morrissey, Sofia Coppola, Molly Ringwald, Carrie Brownstein, the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the award-winning cartoonist Chris Ware, and Museum of Jurassic Technology founder David Wilson.
Each month on "Rookie" (and in the yearbooks) features a different theme, introduced in an Editor's Letter from Tavi and highlighted by articles, interviews, playlists, fashion editorials, and how-to's by "Rookie"'s seventy-strong roster of contributors and guests. (June 2012's theme: Paradise. December 2012: Faith. April 2013: Age of Innocence.) Exclusive "Rookie Yearbook Two" celebrity content will include contributions by Judy Blume, Grimes, and Winona Ryder, among others, making it a truly special product.
