About Silver Thorns

We publish the stories you stay up for.

Silver Thorns is an independent publishing house, founded in 2018. We make romance, thrillers, romcoms, fantasy and nonfiction for readers who want to feel every single page.

Read and listen on

Since 2018

It began with one book and one promise: every story we publish has to be worth the late night you give it. Years later, that promise is still the only rule in this house.

Our story

A house built one chapter at a time.

The first page

Chapter one2018

The first page

Silver Thorns opened its doors with a single romance and a handful of readers who could not put it down. They told their friends, and their friends told theirs. That was all the marketing we had, and it was all we needed.

Worlds, not just books

Chapter two

Worlds, not just books

Our readers wanted to stay longer, so we built bigger. Powerful families with dangerous secrets, brothers bound by blood, rivals who should never touch. One book became a series, and every series became a world you can lose a whole weekend in.

Stories with a voice

Chapter three

Stories with a voice

Then we gave our books a voice. Two, in fact. Our audiobooks are narrated with one voice for her and one for him, so every chapter sounds like the person living it. Press play right here, or find us on Spotify.

New shelves

Chapter four

New shelves

Love is where we started, never where we stopped. Thrillers that make you check the locks twice. Romcoms that make you laugh out loud in public. Fantasy with worlds worth getting lost in, and nonfiction that leaves you sharper than it found you.

Still unwritten

The house rules

What we believe

One

Story comes first.

Before the cover, before the title, there is a story that has to work. We edit until it does, then we edit again.

Two

Read it your way.

Ebooks, audiobooks with two narrators, and complete series in a single bundle. Pick the format that fits your night.

Three

Readers lead the way.

Every series we continue and every shelf we open starts with what our readers ask for. Keep asking. We are listening.
