This is an exciting end-of-the-Kickstarter campaign JQ Editions News Flash! If you haven’t yet secured your books, you only have until tomorrow, Friday, March 27 at 9pm PDT to do so.
We have one more Stretch Goal (what is this? see below), and it’s a big one: If the JQ Editions Kickstarter reaches $600K, Julia Quinn will announce her currently super-secret next writing project exclusively to JQ Editions Kickstarter campaign backers in July 2026, when our first book is published. In other words, if you subscribe to JQ Editions via our Kickstarter, you will get the news.
If you have already pledged a subscription, THANK YOU! But did you know that we have extras? For instance, you can add on a journal or an extra three Lisa Kleypas books. Add-ons count toward stretch goals, too. (Not to mention that all Lisa Kleypas books will be autographed! Loretta Chase and Tessa Dare books will be autographed, too.)
Remember, the Kickstarter is ending SOON, so now is the time to join over 1000 historical romance readers and become a JQE member!
**A lot of you have asked what a Stretch Goal is. This is a way for Kickstarter campaigns to include incentives in hopes of encouraging those who haven’t yet subscribed to buy.
**We’ve also been asked about gifting subscriptions. Yes you can! How do do so is answered in the FAQ section on our Kickstarter page, where we have over 30 frequently asked questions answered.
We’re almost to the end! THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us in this exciting venture!
The announcement we’ve been waiting for is here… The lead Bridgerton of Season 5 will be Francesca!
In other news, the JQ Editions Kickstarter is in its final week! JQ Editions is a subscription box curated by Julia Quinn herself. Members receive a luxury edition historical romance every other month. It’s a great way to get beautiful copies of your favorite books AND discover new-to-you authors!
Over 1000 readers have become club members–won’t you join us?
Finally, JQ visited The House of Maher earlier this month and the show is now live! Who knew she and rugby champion Ilona Maher have so much in common? (No, JQ is not 5’10”, and we’re pretty sure she will never win an Olympic medal, but THEY ARE BOTH MIDDLE SISTERS and that beats all.) Listen to The House of Maher wherever you get your podcasts.
Julia Quinn spoke at the Hoover Public Library’s 2025 Southern Voices Festival in Hoover on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025 about her position on book banning and shared her personal story of getting into writing.
The second in JQ’s Bridgerton series lands on TIME Magazine’s “50 Best Romance Novels to Read Right Now,” a refreshingly well-researched collection of books (as opposed to what might seem like a list of safely called-out bestsellers).
