Real Simple (stylized in all caps) is an American monthly magazine published by Dotdash Meredith.[2] The magazine features articles and information related to homemaking, childcare, cooking, and emotional well-being. The magazine is distinguished by its clean, uncluttered style of layout and photos. In 2013 it had approximately 7.6 million readers, 90% of whom were women.[3] Headquartered in New York City, the magazine is currently edited by Sarah Collins,[4] who began serving as interim editor-in-chief in September 2016 after the departure of previous editor Kristin van Ogtrop.[5]
Real Simple expanded to include a TV show of the same name, with two seasons of a half-hour program airing on PBS in 2006–2007. A TLC show entitled Real Simple Real Life aired over two seasons in 2008–2009.
