Tavi Gevinson is the editor-in-chief and founder of
Rookie, an online magazine for teenage girls. Tavi's career in media began when she created the blog
Style Rookie in 2008 at age eleven. She was profiled by The
New Yorker in 2010, and in 2011, at fifteen, launched
Rookie. Six days after its debut,
Rookie received more than one million pageviews. Tavi has since spoken at TEDxTeen, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Sydney Opera House, The
New Yorker Festival, the Commonwealth Club of California, the University of Wisconsin's Distinguished Lecture Series, the Brooklyn Museum, the Melbourne Writers Festival, and
The Economist's The World in 2011. Tavi is also an actress, having starred in Kenneth Lonergan's Tony-nominated
This Is Our Youth, Ivo van Hove's revival of
The Crucible as Mary Warren, and most recently Stephen Karam's revival of Chekhov's
The Cherry Orchard on Broadway and the Sundance darling
Human People.
"Containing poetry, essays, interviews, graphic short stories, and fiction, covering doggie love, Arthurian love, and grandmother love, the book offers a niche of love that all women can connect to. A thoughtful, light read celebrating a universal emotion." —
Kirkus, starred review
"The contributors, diverse in race and sexual orientation, range from current teens to adults who vividly remember their teen years....Each voice lends itself to universal truths about love, sometimes in no-holds-barred language, making this a good choice for YA and new adult collections." —
