About Atom
Atom is the young adult imprint of Little, Brown Book Group, the London publisher owned by Hachette UK, and its list sits in the YA and crossover market.
The imprint says it seeks new authors from Britain and other countries and aims for contemporary fiction that readers will want to pass on. Its editorial director, who also runs the Corsair imprint, has named romance, fantasy, thrillers and horror among the genres she acquires, and Atom notes that its readers mostly find new books through social media. Its authors include Stephenie Meyer, Sabaa Tahir, Sara Shepard, Laura Nowlin and Kamilah Cole.
Atom is one of a dozen or so Little, Brown Book Group imprints, alongside Abacus, Constable, Fleet, Orbit, Piatkus, Sphere and Virago. The group traces back to the British publisher Macdonald, which the Boston house Little, Brown (founded in 1837) bought from Maxwell Communication Corporation in 1992 and renamed. Little, Brown was at that time part of Time Warner, and Hachette UK has owned the British group since 2006.
