Currently Looking For
Hi, I’m Rachel! I joined Joffe Books as editorial director in September 2025. If you haven’t heard of Joffe Books, we’re one of the UK’s leading independent genre-fiction digital publishers, and our eBook sales are up there with the Big Five and Amazon’s imprints. In 2025 we sold 3.2 million books across new and backlist titles, in eBook, print and audio, with 1.8 billion pages read on Kindle Unlimited (the equivalent of another 6 million sales). Currently, around 60% of our sales are in the UK, and 40% in the US. We spend more than £1.1 million annually on advertising (in 2025 we hit £1.8M), and over £1,000 per week on all new authors, as our aim is to turn every single book we publish into a digital bestseller (though we do also love print, and publish lovely paperback editions too). Our authors and our amazing readers are at the heart of all we do! I am looking to acquire fantastic, page-turning crime, mysteries and thrillers for our main Joffe Books imprint. These can be brand-new and unpublished, but I am also actively looking to scoop up previously published series and standalones and republish them – bringing them to a whole new audience and a whole new level of sales. If you’re an established author with a self-pubbed backlist or your rights have reverted from your traditional publisher, I’m interested! Our authors come from all walks of life, and all around the world, and I am very much open to diverse books and diverse authors. I am open to debuts as well as books from established authors. What I’m looking for: I love a series! I’m looking to acquire both brand-new and previously-published series in the following genres, set either in the UK or the US: I am also keen to acquire standalones in the following genres – again, I’m completely open to brand-new books and backlist: What I’m NOT looking for: I’m not currently looking for books outside of crime, mystery and thriller. (Feel free to submit romance and sagas to our submissions inbox, to be considered for our Choc Lit imprint.)
