Bookouture has landed a three-book deal with Kindle number one bestselling author K L Slater.
Associate publisher Lydia Vassar-Smith acquired world English language rights from Camilla Bolton at the Darley Anderson Literary Agency.
The contract will mark Slater’s 20th book with the publisher. In 2021, Slater’s The Marriage (Bookouture) enjoyed more than 15 weeks in the Kindle top 100, followed by The Evidence (Bookouture) and The Widow (Bookouture) hitting the number 11 and number two slot respectively.
Vassar-Smith commented: “I’ve been working with Kim [Slater] since 2015 and I couldn’t be prouder of her performance. I am so glad we will be working on many more books together – her concepts are always so intriguing and when it comes to hooking readers, she has the Midas touch. She is a dynamic, exciting writer and I look forward to our future together.”
Bolton said: “K L Slater, Lydia, Jenny and the team at Bookouture are the multimillion-copy bestselling dream team. They’ve worked together from the beginning and here we are doing a new deal that includes Kim’s 20th psychological thriller. K L Slater’s career with Bookouture is a phenomenal success and I’m incredibly excited for the next few years ahead.”
Slater added: “It’s been an incredible journey since my first psychological thriller – Safe With Me – was published with Bookouture in November 2016. I feel so privileged to continue working with my amazing editor Lydia Vassar-Smith and with the rest of the talented and passionate Bookouture team on three new titles I hope my readers will love!”
