The Fangirl's Journal for Leveling Up by Sam Maggs


A companion to The Fangirl's Guide to the Universe, this guided journal by Sam Maggs includes prompts, interviews, and illustrations to help you get in touch with your dreams, plans, and faves.

Fandom is an excellent way to discover who you really are. Your OTPs, NOTPS, and even OT3s actually say a lot about you, if you're willing to listen hard enough. With this journal, you can examine your current fandoms, explore new ones, and even push the boundaries of your own creativity. Start your very own transformative works with prompts for fanfic and fanart, fill checklists for what to watch or read next, learn definitions of fandom terms, and read wisdom from your favorite geeky gals.

The Fangirl's Journal encourages you to be your very best, strongest, loudest, and nerdiest self--and helps you figure out exactly who that might be along the way.

Straight up; the Kindle version I got, an ARC version, didn't convert very well. There's a lot of misplaced lines and weird formatting. I'm sure all that will be fixed in the official version, and I could make out enough to know that this is a great book, full of brilliant ideas. I love the suggestion to take compliments you get about your fandom endeavours and make them into a daily mantra for yourself - we all need to remind ourselves of our good points now and then, so I think this is an idea I'll be adopting! 

I really did enjoy this, and I'll be looking out for a proper version I can fill in and keep for myself. It's got some great ideas and I look forward to being able to work on them properly.

The Fangirl's Journal publishes on the 27th October, 2020.
