The romance genre isn’t just a community; it’s an absolute economic powerhouse. That’s why the recent announcement from Simon & Schuster is such a massive win for authors, readers, and the industry at large: Pocket Books is making a comeback.
Simon & Schuster has officially announced the relaunch of its iconic Pocket Books imprint. Spearheading this revival as VP, Editorial Director & Deputy Publisher is Anh Schluep—the powerhouse publisher who previously grew Amazon’s incredibly successful Montlake romance line and worked with chart-toppers like Colleen Hoover and Rebecca Yarros.
Bringing it back today—with a modern focus on supporting the next generation of fan-favorites—is a beautiful full-circle moment.
Congratulations to Anh Schluep and the Gallery Books team. I can’t wait to see the incredible stories and author partnerships that come out of this relaunch! 📚✨
