Launch of Teen Vogue's Romance Series Coincides with Libra Season
Teen Vogue has launched a new romance series in partnership with Wattpad Books, featuring debut author M. Wilson and exploring relationships through astrology.
A new romance series has been launched by Teen Vogue in partnership with Wattpad Books, coinciding with Libra season and its associated abundance of romance. To celebrate this launch, Teen Vogue hosted an astrology-themed event at McNally Jackson, a downtown bookstore.
The first installment of the series, I Saw The Signs, dropped earlier that day and features debut author M. Wilson, who will also write subsequent installments in early 2027. Each story uses astrology as a lens to explore relationships, marking a unique approach for Teen Vogue's original fiction project.
This collaboration with Wattpad Books is seen as a natural next step for Teen Vogue, given its past coverage of fanbases within youth culture and the publication's interest in exploring themes through familiar stories.
The serialized format of the stories allows readers to absorb and engage with each installment, much like fans do when following popular fan fiction on platforms such as Wattpad. This approach enables collective speculation about the plot's progression, which is a key aspect of fan culture.
Wattpad's head of content, Alessandra Ferreri, highlights the participatory nature of fan fiction, where readers connect with each other and the subject matter in a meaningful way. The platform's familiarity with this type of engagement makes it an ideal partner for Teen Vogue's new series.
Astrological themes continued at the launch party, where guests were encouraged to incorporate their zodiac sign into their attire. This led to a variety of creative interpretations, from a Taurus guest's cow-print mules to a Pisces attendee's crochet fishnet top.
The attendees of the event eagerly shared their astrological information on name tags, sparking lively discussions about each other's birth charts.
To cater to those with a deeper interest in astrology, Teen Vogue had arranged for resident astrologer Lisa Stardust to provide personal readings and planetary forecasts. She cautioned against impulsive decisions during the current Venus retrograde period, advising guests to exercise caution when making important choices.
The advice offered by Stardust was met with amusement from some attendees, who appreciated her "evergreen" guidance on avoiding hasty actions, particularly in matters of the heart, as Halloween approached.
