Julia Quinn is launching a subscription service for romance novels, People magazine reports.
Quinn, best known for the series of books that has been adapted into the blockbuster Netflix show Bridgerton, announced the first three titles in her JQ Editions service, which will send readers historical romance novels starting in July.
The first books to be featured are Alyssa Cole’s An Extraordinary Union, Eloisa James’ The Last Lady B, and Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels. Each limited-edition book will feature special artwork and will be designed by illustrators in collaboration with the authors.
“I’ve been writing historical romance for over 30 years, and JQ Editions is my love letter to the genre,” Quinn told People. “Bridgerton fans are always asking me what to read next. With JQ Editions, I have the opportunity to hand-select the very best in historical romance. These are my ride-or-die books, the ones I truly feel my fans will love.”
Quinn is a fixture in the historical romance genre. Her Bridgerton series, set in Regency-era London, kicked off in 2000 with The Duke and I and concluded in 2006 with On the Way to the Wedding. The television series based on the books will begin airing its fourth season later this month.
JQ Editions will release six more novels next year and plans to continue with still more titles in 2028.
