Proven romance books

An Independent Publisher · Est. 2016
A home for romance books ready to grow.
SilkThorn works with romance authors and rights-holders through book acquisitions, licensing, and revenue-share partnerships — helping selected titles grow through stronger positioning, covers, production, advertising, and long-term publishing support.
The House
A small house that treats every book like the only one.
We take on fewer titles than we turn down, and we keep the ones we take. Every book is edited and designed in-house and given the care of a full publishing house — whether it's a new release or an established title finding a lasting home with us.

What we look for
Books we're built to grow.
02 / Series
Series with untapped potential
Connected books or worlds that could grow through stronger packaging, positioning, and advertising.
03 / Relaunch
Backlists ready for relaunch
Older romance titles that may still have value but need a clearer market angle and renewed support.
04 / Rights
Rights and catalog opportunities
Books, series, pen names, or selected rights where acquisition, licensing, or partnership could make sense.
From Our Authors
Words from the writers we publish.
I handed SilkThorn a book I'd already poured years into. They treated it like their own — and gave it a better life than it had before.
Carla
Author
Letting go of a book you've built is hard. SilkThorn made it the easiest decision I've made — they've cared for it better than I could have hoped.
Maria
Author
I was nervous about handing my series to another house. A year in, I only wish I'd done it sooner.

Your book deserves a lasting home.
SilkThorn takes on a small number of books each year — new manuscripts and established titles alike. If you've written romance that refuses to whisper, or you're looking for a better home for a book you've already built, we want to hear from you.
