Bookouture re-sign thriller authors Durrant and Grant
Bookouture are thrilled to announce the acquisition of thriller novels by authors Helen H. Durrant and Cathryn Grant, publishing in 2026.
We are delighted to announce that Associate Publisher Helen Jenner has acquired World All Language rights, including Film & TV and audio, for three books in a new police procedural series by bestselling crime author Helen H. Durrant. The first two books will publish in 2026.
Helen said,
‘Getting to work on a new police procedural series with Helen is honestly a dream come true. Helen’s previous successes with her detective series are nothing short of amazing, and I know that her new detective is going to become a firm favourite with her many fans.’
Helen said,
‘I’m so excited to be working with Helen and the team at Bookouture once again. This fresh project brings a whole new cast of characters and introduces a brand new detective I can’t wait for you to meet.’
We are also thrilled to announce that Associate Publisher Helen Jenner has acquired World All Language rights, including Film & TV and audio, for three new psychological thrillers from Cathryn Grant. The first two books will publish in 2026 and the third one in 2027.
Helen said,
‘I have loved working with Cathryn so far so I’m over the moon to be working with her on three new psychological thrillers. Seeing the success of Welcome to the Family is testament to what a great writer she is – hooking readers in with a big opening scene, and then expertly twisting a plot until readers have no idea what’s going to happen next. She has delivered three brilliant new concepts for 2026 and 2027, which I know her audience is going to love.’
Cathryn said,
‘After working on two psychological thrillers with Helen, I couldn’t be more excited to begin the journey of developing three new novels with her. I love the way she pushes me to dig deeper into my stories and characters to deliver the shocks and twists my readers adore. The entire team at Bookouture is a pleasure to work with and I’m so appreciative of everything they’ve done to make my books shine and to introduce them to new readers.’
