Shameless magazine anthology to be published in June

Shameless magazine is to publish its first book in June, an anthology drawn from the pages of the magazine. Edited by publisher Stacey May Fowles and editor Megan Griffith-Green and designed by magazine art director Sheila Sampath, it's called She's Shameless and is described as

"fearless and funny non-fiction about strong, smart and shameless young women. With wit and honesty, the writers share stories of their teen experiences (both positive and negative) on everything from body image to best friends, from pop culture to first times.

"The book is founded on Shameless magazine's tradition of smart, sassy, honest and inclusive writing, and reaches out to young female readers who are often ignored by mainstream: freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, and activists."

The anthology features writing by Catherine Graham, Zoe Whittall, Shannon Gerrard, Julia Serano, Dianah Smith, and Emily Pohl-Weary. The book will be launched June 23 and will be for sale in bookstores across Canada but can be pre-ordered online.
