Watching how our streaming culture has increased the expectation for fast delivery of content, we wanted to reach teens in a similar way, says Horowitz. Our new line of Underlined books will be published on a rapid, regular schedule, delivering highly-commercial, portable, and affordable reads under the recognizable and trusted Underlined brand.
The release goes on to say, “We are proud to be bringing these compulsively readable thrillers, horror stories, and romances to readers, and look forward to introducing them to the marketplace.”
