Since reading this AWESOME book, I've actually had the chance to ask Sam Maggs questions on Twitter, where she was a complete doll - so not only can she write these uplifting informative, and inclusive books, but she is good to her fans and will chat about who you loved most in Dragon Age!
As for the book itself, it was so well constructed. The bits about the types of trolls, about not taking anyone's bullshit to heart all really hit me. I was just gleeful to own a copy and feel that support. A perfect gift for someone who doesn't get your fangirl-ness, really. I am thinking of gifting a copy to people who give me odd looks for my fangirl lifestyle, but that's what it is!
I also won a poster for preordering which is the cover and hangs on my door. I just fell in love with Sam and her truly great book.

A great guide for all things fangirl
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020
As someone who definitely identifies as a fangirl, I was thrilled to receive a copy of Fangirl's Guide to The Universe by Sam Maggs (who I am personally a big fan of - loved her work on the Fangirl Manga adaptation). It truly is a guide to a fangirls universe - it boasts guides about fangirl vocabulary, online forums, convention guides, and how to show your fandom colors in your day to day life.Fangirl's Guide to the Universe is a very wide reaching book - it covers a wide variety of fandom/fangirl topics and some really powerful and important general life topics. For example, the author did a really great piece on preparing for attending a fan convention - she wrote packing lists, tips for taking pictures and and getting autographs, but also about the importance of consent during cosplay.This is the kind of book that I wish I had had when I was younger. I navigated fan culture through trial and error (a lot of errors) and having a guide like this would have definitely made me more confident in my online and in person nerdy interactions. This book emphasizes being yourself and respecting others above all else - but it also provides great tools for dealing with trolls and navigating the negative side of fan communities.If you're dipping your toes in fangirl culture or are a long term resident of online forums, Fangirl's Guide to the Universe by Sam Maggs has a little something for everyone. I also think it would make a great gift for anyone starting to participate in fangirl spaces.
