Drew has already been working on the publication for around two years, and will serve as the magazine’s editor-in-chief, according to WWD.
The lifestyle publication will focus on a variety of uplifting topics, including feel-good stories, inspirational people, travel, food, cooking, beauty and lifestyle.
‘I call our show optimism TV. This is an optimism magazine,’ Drew told WWD.
Making a magazine has been a lifelong dream for Drew.

‘I’ve lined my walls with magazine tear sheets since I was like 10 years old,’ she told WWD of her desire to start a magazine.
‘I have a picture of myself in my bedroom and it’s like floor to ceiling and wall to wall. I’ve always loved magazines because of the paper and the experience. Magazines are such a huge part of my life and they’re such a huge part of my inspiration for everything I do.’
Despite the magazine being named after her, it has not yet been decided if Drew will appear on every cover.

‘We certainly think [Drew] is our best cover, but we’re going into it more with a kind of listening to the audience,’ the president of Bauer Media, Steven Kotok, told WWD.
‘The reader will always decide. Clearly she should be on the first cover and we’ll figure it out from there. When you overconceive it, that’s the only way to screw it up.’
The lifestyle magazine is a collaboration between Drew and Bauer Media Group and will be available exclusively at Walmart starting June 14 for $9.99.
The magazine marks Drew’s latest venture outside of acting.
Drew’s talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, was recently given the green light for a second season after enjoying a noticeable ratings bump at the start of the year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
