Raegan Revord, widely recognized for her role as Missy Cooper on CBS’s “Young Sheldon,” is not only a talented actress but also a passionate advocate for young readers. Since the series finale in May, Revord has been dedicating even more time to her well-established book club, Read with Raegan, and is now gearing up for the release of her debut novel. In a recent exclusive with PEOPLE, Revord shared insights into her journey as a reader, writer, and the driving force behind her literary initiatives.
Read with Raegan, which Revord launched in 2019, has grown into a vibrant online community where young readers can explore a wide range of literature. Each month, Revord carefully selects a new book for her followers, encouraging them to read along with her and participate in online discussions. The book club’s selections are diverse, spanning both adult and young adult genres, including notable titles like The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty and Thieves’ Gambit by Kayvion Lewis. Revord’s mission is clear: to create a space where young readers can connect with stories that speak to them and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
In her exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Revord revealed that her love for reading began at an early age, influenced by a family full of educators and book lovers. This early exposure to literature not only fueled her passion for reading but also inspired her to create Read with Raegan as a way to share that passion with others. “I didn’t see that space for kids to fall in love with reading,” Revord said, highlighting the motivation behind starting her book club.
But Revord’s literary pursuits don’t stop there. The young actress is also on the verge of adding “author” to her list of accomplishments with the upcoming release of her debut novel, Rules for Fake Girlfriends. Set to be published next fall, the novel tells the story of a teenager who embarks on an emotional journey to complete a scavenger hunt left behind by her late mother. The book, which is expected to resonate with fans of YA romances like Anna and the French Kiss and I Kissed Shara Wheeler, showcases Revord’s talent for storytelling and her ability to connect with readers on a personal level.
Balancing her acting career with her passion for writing has been a new challenge for Revord, but one she has embraced wholeheartedly. In her interview with PEOPLE, she shared that the transition between being Missy Cooper on set and working on her novel required her to switch gears mentally. Despite the challenges, Revord remains dedicated to both her acting and writing, often finding time to write between takes on the Young Sheldon set.
Looking ahead, Revord’s dual focus on acting and writing signals a bright future for the young star. Her ability to inspire young readers through her book club and her determination to pursue her passion for writing, even amidst a busy acting schedule, demonstrates a level of commitment and creativity that is truly commendable. As she continues to grow both as an actress and an author, Raegan Revord is undoubtedly becoming a role model for young fans everywhere.
