Release on October 6
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Megan Tingley, Executive Vice President and Publisher, Little, Brown
Books for Young Readers, announces the publication of a special tenth
anniversary edition of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, the
groundbreaking novel that became an internationally bestselling
publishing phenomenon, a blockbuster film franchise, and a cultural
touchstone around the world. This new edition will release on October 6,
2015, and features exclusive bonus content. It will be available in
hardcover, ebook, and large print formats, in addition to an audio
version from Listening Library.
In celebration of the tenth anniversary, Meyer attended the annual Forever
Twilight in Forks fan gathering. In addition, Meyer will also be
participating in this year’s New York Comic Con for an event and
autographing on Thursday, October 8, at 1:45 p.m. Meyer will be in
conversation with Josh Horowitz of MTV After Hours as they
reflect on the tenth anniversary and discuss the new edition of her
landmark novel. Meyer will also be doing book signings in the New York
City and Los Angeles areas surrounding the release.
“It’s amazing to me that ten years have passed since Twilight was
first published,” said Meyer. “For me, this anniversary is a celebration
of the fans, with all of their incredible passion and dedication. I’m
excited to get to spend time with them again.”
“I felt the same thrill reading this special anniversary edition as I
did when I read the manuscript a decade ago,” commented Tingley. “I’m
pleased we have this opportunity for devoted fans to relive the
extraordinary Twilight experience, as well as for a new
generation of readers to discover it for the very first time.”
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight has
enraptured millions of readers since its first publication in 2005 and
has become a modern classic, redefining genres within young adult
literature and inspiring a phenomenon that has had readers yearning for
more. The internationally bestselling Twilight Saga, which also
includes New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn,
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella, and The
Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, has sold
nearly 155 million copies worldwide.
Among its many accolades, Twilight was a #1 New York Times bestseller
and a #1 USA Today bestseller. It was selected as an NPR
Best-Ever Teen Novel, a New York Times Editor’s Choice, and one
of TIME magazine’s Best 100 Young Adult Books of All Time. The
