Shameless anthology to launch June 23rd

Shameless magazine, the publication for teenage girls, is launching its inaugural collection She's Shameless: Women write about growing up, rocking out and fighting back (Tightrope Books) at an event Tuesday, June 23 at the Gladstone Hotel Ballroom, 1214 Queen Street West in Toronto. It's a This is Not A Reading Series event . It's $5 at the door, free with the purchase of a book. Check out the Facebook page about the event.

Here's how co-editors Megan Griffith-Greene (editor-in-chief of Shameless and contributing editor at Chatelaine) and Stacey May Fowles (publisher of Shameless and circulation marketing director at The Walrus) describe the book:

an anthology of 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 pop culture to high school principals. 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.
