Each section opens with a personal essay by the author, followed by writing prompts made for fangirl self-reflection (like "What are your favorite fanfic tropes?" and "What''s a popular fantasy book you''ve never read - and why?") Users can start their very own transformative works with prompts for fanfic and fanart, alongside inspirational quotes from famous women in fandom and kick-ass female characters from genre fiction. The Fangirl''s Journal will also include visual guides to comics, movies, TV shows, and video games, checklists for what to watch or read next, definitions of fandom terms, and wisdom from their favorite geeky gals.
