Bloom Books Publishing

Summary

Mission and History

Founded in 2021 with author E L James, Bloom Books launched as an author-partnership imprint that focuses on how publishing can work for both authors and readers. It's original mission statement was, "Bloom Books is home to authors looking to forge new paths in publishing." This has since then evolved into a better statement that aligns perfectly with the company, "Bloom Books is focused on authors with established community platforms who want to have more creative ownership over the publication of their books." This publisher has since then grown and recently allowed Penguin Random House to acquire a 75% stake in Sourcebooks, which is the owner of Bloom Books.
