Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Supermodel turned media mogul Tyra Banks is set to write a three-book young adult fantasy series called Modelland, announced Delacorte Press on May 11. The first book is due out in summer 2011.
Modelland will tells the story of a teen girl in a magical world who is accepted into an academy for "Intoxibellas" - "the most exceptional models known to humankind." At the academy, the main character finds herself competing for acceptance and for a way of life "that's both hotly desired and woefully out of reach."
Tyra Banks is currently in her 13th season as host of her reality TV show America's Next Top Model; her other television credits include True Beauty, Stylista, and her talk show Tyra, which will soon come to an end. In September the former Victoria's Secret model launched an online beauty magazine called Tyra: Inside & Out.
Banks joined a list of young female celebrities to try their hand at writing, among them actress Hilary Duff, who is set to publish a young adult romance/adventure series beginning in October 2010.
