In 2014, when YouTube star Grace Helbig released a self-styled advice book called Grace’s Guide, she was at the forefront of a literary trend that had recently arrived within the online video community. Now, two years later, a lot more digital media personalities have written their own books, but there’s still room for Helbig to offer another published work to her viewers. Her second book, Grace & Style, is now available from both digital and brick-and-mortar retailers.
With Grace’s Guide, Helbig delivered her two cents on hangovers, walks of shame, loneliness, and other irreverent topics. Grace & Style, on the other hand, is much more focused: It hones in on the world of fashion, with Helbig satirizing her particular dress sense. “It’s clear to see I’m a style icon,” reads a description of the book on the website of publisher Simon & Schuster, “remember, you can’t spell icon without ‘con.’”
Grace & Style was first announced in June 2015, is available from a number of retailers, including Amazon, where it has launched itself up the bestseller charts in its first day on the market. As of this post, Helbig’s new book is ranked number one within one of Amazon’s very-specific categories: New Release, Self-Help and Psychology Humor.
As she did with Grace’s Guide, Helbig has supported Grace & Style with a lengthy promotional tour. Among her stops, she’s made TV appearances on shows like Entertainment Tonight and Today.
Beyond her literary career, Helbig continues to entertain her devoted fanbase on YouTube. Her main channel has more than 2.6 million subscribers.
