Set up in 2007, we are a commercial fiction division of HarperCollins and publish predominantly crime, thrillers, suspense, feel-good general fiction, and historical fiction. We were named Imprint of the Year at the British Book Award 2020, and are home to many Sunday Times and Kindle #1 bestsellers. We work closely with our international teams across the globe, particularly in the US and Canada, and love seeing our writers translated into multiple languages. We are proud to publish a list of incredible authors who have had many different routes into publishing – and it’s our passion to introduce their page-turning stories to our brilliant community of readers.

We’re always looking for new voices to publish, too – and we’re dedicated to welcoming writers from different backgrounds into our community, and supporting them within it. We accept unagented manuscripts and so, if you’re an aspiring author who’s keen to join the Avon family, please visit our submissions page to find out how you can send your book to us!
