Colleen Who?
In 2022, Colleen Hoover sold a lot of books, She sold a lot of a lot of books. In fact, she sold more books than James Patterson and John Grisham combined. She had six of the top 10 spots on The New York Times’s paperback fiction best-seller list and sold over 14 million books last year.
As the New York Times wrote in an article last year about Colleen Hoover, “Most blockbuster authors break out because of a popular series, like “Twilight” or “Harry Potter,” or build a brand by writing in a recognizable genre. Hoover is eclectic. She’s written romances, a steamy psychological thriller, a ghost story, harrowing novels about domestic violence, drug abuse, homelessness and poverty. Though her books are hard to categorize, most of them have an addictive combination of sex, drama and outrageous plot twists.”
Hoover self-published her first book in 2012, so that her mother, who had just gotten an Amazon Kindle, could read it. At the time, she was making $9 an hour as a social worker. Since then she has written more than 20 more novels in the romance and young adult fiction genres, with her fans sharing their love of her stories on social media apps.
