After countless “just one more chapter” sleepless nights, endless book hangovers, and hundreds of exclusive reveals, it’s safe to say that Team Cosmo is obsessed with books. We have been for a while: long before the era of BookTok and #shelfies, we were among the first magazines to publish writers like like H.G. Wells and Mark Twain. We helped nurture the careers of now-bestselling authors, and have launched Book Awards and exclusive extracts over the years.

So it makes perfect sense that we’re now going one step further with Cosmo Reads, a brand-new imprint in partnership with Sourcebooks, aka the place that’s brought you the best of everyone from Ana Huang to Scarlett St. Clair.

Launching this September, we’ll publish several books a year from both debut authors and those with established fandoms. Our first slate will focus on inclusive contemporary romance — we are Cosmo, after all — and from there we’ll explore genres like romantasy, celebrity memoir, pop-culture fiction, and more. You will always be able to count on a Cosmo Reads book to be well-written, expertly edited, well-paced, and completely un-put-downable.
