Disney finally agreed to move forward with the publication of our book. They tried to ignore us for a long time but our persistence forced them to acknowledge that this fan community demands to be heard.

Thank You For Being a Fan is the product of a Golden Girls super-fan during the pandemic. Ever wonder if there are more Saint Olaf stories or more Sicily stories? Or if Blanche really was the girl with the most men in her life? If you are still curious as to what “Fretnone” means and you are the type of person that would have fun at a thimble museum, this is the book for you! Thank You for Being A Fan is a Golden Girls Encyclopedia. It is a one-stop shop for facts about the Girls, their adventures, and all the colorful characters that made the show one of the most iconic in television history. Featuring a forward by actress/comedian Julie McCullough (Golden Girls Season 5 Guest Star) complete with a timeline, a glossary, a list of friends and foes, and loads of other fun facts, this book assures you are now equipped to enjoy Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia in a whole new way.

The Golden Girls fall under Disney intellectual property and therefore no one other than Disney would be permitted to publish. Our hope is to take this petition full of other super-fan signatures to Disney for them to publish Thank You For Being a Fan.

The Golden Girls were all about sharing stories, so it only seems appropriate to share this book with the world.
