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. Exclusive Rookie
Yearbook Two celebrity content will include
contributions by Judy Blume, Grimes, Lena Dunham, Mindy
Kaling among others, making it a truly special product. 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 pathosin other words, everything a teenage girl thinks
and cares about. Rookie Yearbook Two
collects interviews and contributions from notable adults
including Morrissey, Emma Watson, Molly Ringwald, Carrie
Brownstein, the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson,
award-winning cartoonist Chris Ware, and Museum of Jurassic
Technology founder David Wilson. 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 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 Rookie around when they were a teenager.
