Tor poaches V E Schwab from Titan in 'landmark' deal
Bestselling author V E Schwab has moved to Tor from Titan Books as part of a “landmark” deal.
Publisher Bella Pagan acquired UK and British Commonwealth rights to Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil excluding Canada, from Chris Scheina, assistant director at Tor US.
Tor UK will match publication dates for the American author with Tor US, publishing in hardback and other formats on 10th June 2025.
The Pan Macmillan imprint described it as a “landmark deal” and said: “Tor UK will publish international sensation V E Schwab for the very first time with this momentous acquisition. And this sophisticated tale of loss and love, spanning lifetimes, will introduce this bestselling author to an even wider audience.
“Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a triumph: dark, lovely and utterly bewitching. Schwab has written a fierce new take on the immorality tale and a queer love story featuring death, resurrection, hunger, and rage. We follow the lives of three young women, their stories tangling like roots. They grow wild, beautiful and strange. And all of them grow teeth.”
Pagan said: “From the very first page, V E dazzles – we can tell we’re in the hands of a master storyteller and her characters are dynamite. I’m completely in love with this incandescent novel.
“The whole Tor UK team is thrilled too that we’ll be working with such an incredible author. It will be such a huge privilege to publish an author of V E’s stature at Pan Macmillan.”
Schwab, who is based in Edinburgh, said: “It’s a dream come true, getting to combine forces with Tor US and Tor UK to usher Bones into the world. This book is my bones, my blood, my heart. And I know it’s in the best of hands with Bella and her team.”
Victoria - known as ‘V E’ - Schwab is a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 books, including the acclaimed Shades universe, the Villains series, the City of Ghosts series, Gallant, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Fragile Threads of Power (all published by Titan Books).
