New Romance Magazine: A New Magazine Dedicated To This Literary Genre

At the end of 2023, I talked to you in an article about the enthusiasm of female readers for a literary genre called new romance. Riding this wave, Reworld Media Group and Hugo Publishing launched a magazine aimed at young women last June. Here is everything you need to know about this new publication, simply titled New Romance Magazine.

New Romance Magazine has been available at newsstands since June 27, 2024

Good news for the many romance fans: a new magazine largely dedicated to this literary genre has been available at newsstands since Thursday, June 27, 2024! This new release, titled New Romance Magazine, arrives just in time for those who want to take some reading to the beach or the countryside this summer.

In a women's press market that is buzzing with excitement, this publication aims to offer a unique reading experience, blending New Romance stories and news pages in various fields (music, fashion, beauty, astrology, and psychology).

This novelty is brought by the publishing house Hugo Publishing

As fans of this literary genre know, Hugo Publishing is a pioneering publishing house in the new romance genre. It holds both the New Romance brand and more than 60% of this market by volume.

This publishing house is also behind the New Romance Festival or FNR, which has been a great success with readers since its launch in 2016. It must be said that this literary genre, which renews the romance novel by spicing it up, has been a global phenomenon since the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey series.

To launch New Romance Magazine, Hugo Publishing has formed a strategic collaboration with Reworld Media, the second-largest media group in France, which also publishes Grazia, Closer, Science et Vie, and Top Santé.

Thanks to this unique format in France, Hugo Publishing and Reworld Media aim to make the new romance genre known beyond traditional bookstores and reach an even wider female audience. The initiators of this new magazine believe strongly in this innovative concept, as they have decided to distribute the first issue in 100,000 copies.

This title offers an innovative format between book and magazine.

If you haven't had the chance to browse through New Romance Magazine at newsstands yet, know that this 90-page magazine offers illustrated short stories and excerpts from upcoming books.

These stories feature all the recurring themes that New Romance fans love: love at first sight, romantic comedies, and of course, summer loves... Some stories are presented in their entirety in the magazine, while others are offered as exclusive excerpts before their publication.

These texts are penned by renowned authors like Kristen Rivers, Elle Kennedy, or Morgane Moncomble, or by emerging talents selected by Hugo Publishing's teams on its online community writing platform, Fyctia.

This magazine is a quarterly

New Romance Magazine is sold at a price of €4.90 and targets female readers aged 18 to 35, which doesn't prevent others from being tempted by this new women's magazine!

A small note for all those who devour love stories like chocolate ice cream: this new magazine is a quarterly. So, you'll have to wait until autumn to find the next issue of this romance-dedicated publication at newsstands.

To help you wait, head to your newsagent to buy the first issue, then sit back comfortably and take the time to savor these feel-good stories during your summer vacation!
