Abrams has founded a new wellness imprint called ABRAMS Well that will publish five or six titles annually, beginning in Spring 2027. The focus will be on both narrative and fully illustrated titles across food and drink, women's health, longevity, fitness, career, and relationships.
Abrams observed that the imprint "builds on the company's many existing successes--including bestsellers such as The First Forty Days, Sakara Life's Eat Clean, Play Dirty, and Jennifer Fisher's Trust Your Gut--with a forward-looking list that reflects how wellness is lived today: as holistic, culturally relevant, deeply personal experiences."
Abrams president and CEO Mary McAveney said, "Wellness works best when it meets people where they are, and readers are hungry for guidance they can trust. With ABRAMS Well, we're delivering wellness with style, applying the care, creativity, and craft that have defined Abrams as an authority in the Art of Books. We're proud to publish these books that are designed to inspire connection, books that are beautifully made, thoughtfully shaped, and meant to live with readers for a long time."
