Simon & Schuster will publish an unauthorized Taylor Swift book next year and the content for the new title will be crowdsourced by fans.
The publisher is hosting several contests that call for fan participation. For instance, fans can enter the title contest and share their idea for the best book title. The winner will receive $2500 and will get to name the book. There is also an honorary author contest in which fans can submit a video explaining why their name should be on the book as author. The winner gets $10,000 and a trip to New York. Beginning in February, the publisher will open up the cover design contest.
The illustrated scrapbook is slated for publication on Oct. 24, 2016, the 10-year anniversary of her first album.
