Raegan Revord, best known for charming audiences as Missy Cooper on Young Sheldon, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in their career — and this time, it’s not in front of the camera. At just 17 years old, Revord is transitioning from child star to published author with the release of their debut young-adult rom-com, Rules of Fake Girlfriends.
Revord’s journey in entertainment began early, with a screen debut as Megan in Modern Family at the age of six, followed by roles in Grace and Frankie, With Bob & David, and Teachers. But while fans have watched them grow on television, few may know that storytelling has been a lifelong passion. “I have such a deep love for stories, storytelling, and books,” Revord shared in a recent interview with Parade. “I 100 per cent want to keep writing.”
Their debut novel follows Avery Blackwell, a college student whose life takes an unexpected turn when she leaves Columbia to attend her late mother’s alma mater in Brighton, England. There, Avery strikes a deal with a local girl, Charlie, to pretend to be her girlfriend — a ruse that leads to unexpected romance, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to the mother she never truly understood. Fans are already captivated by the story’s mix of humor, heart, and adventure, with some eagerly asking about a potential sequel.
Revord revealed that while Avery and Charlie’s story concludes in this book, there are hints of more tales to explore. “I wrote Rules kinda having that in mind. So I was able to put in little Easter eggs,” they explained, teasing a possible prequel focusing on Maddie, a supporting character with a fascinating backstory.
But that’s not all — Revord is already working on a second novel, this time diving into fantasy. “It’s a big shift from a rom-com,” they said, “but it’s a lot of fun to work on.” Interestingly, this fantasy project predates Rules of Fake Girlfriends, giving them a chance to revisit and expand it with fresh ideas.
Fans of Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will be thrilled to see Revord channeling the same creativity and charm that made them a standout on screen into the world of literature. With their debut already generating buzz and more projects on the horizon, it’s clear that Raegan Revord is not just a talented actor — they’re a storyteller ready to make waves across multiple mediums.
From Missy Cooper to author, Revord proves that creativity knows no bounds, and their fans are along for every exciting turn.
