Choc Lit is an award-winning publisher dedicated to creating a delicious selection of quality romance and women’s fiction. Since in 2009, we have won 18 awards, including Publisher of the Year and the Romantic Novel of the Year, and have been shortlisted for countless others. We became a Joffe Books company in 2023.

We have a long-standing reputation for publishing some of the very best in romantic fiction, thanks to our rigorous editorial standards as well as our ‘tasting panel’ of genuine readers who influence which books we select. We are proud to publish talented first-time authors, as well as established writers whose books we love introducing to a new generation of readers.

We are deeply invested in creating and maintaining our authors’ careers as writers. Each new title is edited with passion and each new cover is designed with a keen eye on how the book will reach its readers. From Sue Moorcroft and Sheryl Browne, to Angela Britnell and Kirsty Ferry, we launched every book into the book-reading world with genuine enthusiasm for seeing them succeed. As a result, our authors have become some of the most read in the UK, consistently topping the Amazon Kindle and Audible charts for weeks at a time with every new release.

The wonderful talent of our authors is matched by the conviction and dedication of our readership and the community of vocal, passionate book readers we have created through our active presence on social media.

We love hearing from readers. Email us about absolutely anything bookish at choc-lit@joffebooks.com. To find out more about becoming a Choc Lit author, head to our Submissions page.
