Want To Help Write Taylor Swift’s New Book? Here’s How You Can

This is our chance, Swifties.
by  2h ago
Next October marks the 10th anniversary of Taylor Swift’s first album, Taylor Swift. This album from Big Machine Records dropped when Swift was only 16 years old, and gave us gems like “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “Our Song.” To celebrate the album that introduced us to the magic that is T-Swift, Simon & Schuster publishing will create a monumental book about the pop star — and superfans are the ones who will help make it come alive.
Entertainment Weekly reports the book, debuting Oct. 24, 2016, is going to “be oversized and illustrated to give it a scrapbook-like feel, stuffed with fan art, concert photos, and the best writing published about Swift during the past decade.” Interestingly, Tay Tay isn’t helping with the book, nor has she endorsed it, according to EW.

Here’s a list of all the ways you can get involved with this awesome project.

  1. Is there a favorite article you’ve seen written about Swift? Submit it!

    Email tips@swiftfanbook.com to recommend any pieces you deem worthy enough to go in a T-Swift book.

  2. Start chatting up the project with fellow Swifties.

    Using the hashtag #SwiftFanBook, Simon & Schuster want fans to “join the conversation.”

  4. Come up with a kick-ass title for the book.

    Submit your title idea towww.SwiftFanBook.com and include a short response of 250 words or less about why your title is the dopest of them all. If you win, you’ll receive a credit in the book and $2,500. The contest will last from Dec. 13, 2015 through Jan. 13, 2016.

  5. Get your name printed as the AUTHOR of the book.

    Obviously, the book will be made up of a plethora of authors, but one lucky person gets to have his or name officially attached to the project. Besides the printed name, this contest winner will get to help Simon & Schuster choose content for the book. Oh, and the lucky Swiftie will receive $10,000, be flown to New York for a press tour, do a book signing and possibly make appearances on media outlets. Whoa.
    To enter, submit a short video (no longer than three minutes) explaining why you are perfect for this job towww.SwiftFanBook.com. The contest will last from Dec. 13, 2015 through Jan. 13, 2016.

  6. Design the cover of the book.

    Submit your cover designs towww.SwiftFanBook.com and your artwork could be featured as the cover. The winner will also receive $5,000. This contest will last from Feb. 1, 2016, through Mar. 1, 2016.
