Bookouture is a British digital publishing company. It was founded in 2012 by
Oliver Rhodes, a former marketing controller for Harlequin/Mills & Boon. Bookouture
is notable for growing its e-book sales dramatically, and for having several of its
publications sell substantial numbers.[1][2]

Bookouture made its first big successes in 2015, when it sold 2.5 million books,[3]
including Silent Scream by Angela Marsons, a crime novel featuring detective Kim
Stone, and the thriller Secrets of The Last Nazi by Iain King. These were followed
in 2016 by Robert Bryndza's The Girl in the Ice, its first book to sell a million
copies.[4] In 2017, it was acquired by Hachette,[1][5] and in 2019 it sold 9
million books[3] more than half of them in the United States.[6]

In 2020, Bookouture launched the imprint Thread Books, with an initial group of
five non-fiction books.[7]
