The Bookouture journey

We started with a question

What would it look like if we ripped up the traditional publishing model and started again? With a flurry of ideas, a new start-up was born - with the aim of being the best of a new generation of publishers.

Book + Couture =

Bookouture seemed a perfect fit to us – combining style and sophistication with a nod to the creativity and attention to detail that goes into our publishing.

Bespoke typography

We decided on hand-drawn typography to tie in with the very essence of Bookouture and, well, because we thought it would look kinda cool. The brief was distinctive, stylish and feminine. We hope you like the result!

bookouture.com

We wanted the bookouture website to be stylish but practical - with strong social media integration to let you get involved in our journey. In August, after months of tinkering, we unveiled it to the world - we hope you like.

A Rising Star

Picked out as one of the next generation of talent who will help the publishing industry thrive in the digital age, Oliver Rhodes was featured for his work with Harlequin and for founding Bookouture.

Start it up

As Founder and Publisher Oliver will oversee Bookouture's talented freelance team of Editors and Designers and work on building an equally talented author base.

Fantastic coverage

We were amazed by the response - getting masses of coverage, including Digital Book World, Dear Author, Publishing Perspectives, Book Brunch, Teleread, Book Business Magazine and more.

Looking for authors

We're looking for authors writing entertaining women's fiction - with a strong, distinctive voice that stands out amongst the crowd. In return we offer a 45% royalty rate combined with some of the best editing and smartest digital marketing around.
