The Publisher of ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Is Now Aiming for Adult Readers
Choose Your Own Adventure books are aimed at YA readers, but they have a cult following among adults who grew up page-flipping through their interactive stories—one reason there’s a feature film from Radio Silence on the way. Now the publisher, Chooseco, is angling to bring new stories to that demographic with the imprint CYOA Unbound, which is aiming to launch this December. “New stories” is a little bit misleading because one of the inaugural titles is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, reimagined by author C.
