Boldwood is delighted to announce the acquisition of sixteen more authors, bringing the total number of writers on its list to 167.
Included in the list are the chart-topping authors Fiona Gibson and Linda Green, alongside bestselling women’s fiction writers Celia Anderson and Karen King – both of whom are turning to golden years fiction for Boldwood. Joining the psychological thriller line-up is bestselling Amanda Brittany with Sarah Bonner and Tam Barnett contributing their new darkly comic capers to the list. Bringing some sunshine to Boldwood are Alison Roberts and Victoria Springfield with their ‘wish you were here’ novels, while Renita d’Silva and Maisie Thomas are delivering wonderful historical fiction – set in India and wartime Manchester respectively.
As Boldwood builds its romance list it is welcoming USA Today bestsellers Amy Andrews and Kelly Jamieson, alongside Christy McKellen and Olivia Spring with their sexy romcoms and Rachael Stewart for her Billionaire series. All authors have been contracted on multi-book deals and will be published in every format simultaneously in all English-language territories.
To further enhance the Boldwood editorial team, the company is delighted to welcome Victoria Britton as Editorial Director.

At Boldwood she will be charged with acquiring across the commercial fiction genres with a particular focus on the action adventure and thriller area.

Their publishing model and general company ethos champions innovation, diversity and flexibility and I can’t wait to dive in and get started on a new action-packed list.’
