Who sold the most books in 2024?

Who sold the most books in 2024?

by Melody E. McIntyre

For three years now, I have written here about who sold the most books each year. This question does not have an easy answer as each site uses different metrics. Therefore, finding the exact numbers can be difficult. That is why I have chosen to feature ten of the best-selling authors in 2024 based on a variety of sources.

2024 had some interesting trends. The biggest of which being the dominance of the “romantasy” genre. Fantasy overall saw an increase in sales of 35.8%, with romantasy being a driving factor. As well, 2024 saw the first increase in print book sales in the last three years. It was a modest increase of less than 1%, but it could mark the beginning of a new trend. I still remember when it seemed like e-books would kill print sales, but that has not been the case.  Other trends show that adult fiction still sells the most and having a good backlist is key. As mentioned on Lithub, only 29% of the 200 bestselling books of 2024 were actually published in 2024.

This year’s list will include some regulars as well as new names and a couple of surprises. So, without further delay, here is a list of ten of the best-selling authors of 2024.

Title: Upon a Starlit Tide
Author: Kell Woods
Genre: Fantasy
Publisher: Tor Books
Publication date: 18th November, 2025

Synopsis: Saint-Malo, Brittany, 1758. To Lucinde Leon, the youngest daughter of a wealthy French shipowner, the high walls of Saint-Malo are more hindrance than haven.

While her sisters are busy trying to secure advantageous marriages, Luce spends her days secretly being taught to sail by Samuel, her best friend―and an English smuggler. Only he understands how the waves call to her. Then one stormy morning, Luce rescues a drowning man from the sea.

Immediately drawn in by the stranger’s charm, Luce is plunged into a world of glittering balls and faerie magic, seduction and brutality. Secrets that have long been lost in the shadowy depths of the ocean begin to rise to the surface, but as Luce wrestles with warring desires, she finds that her own power is growing brighter and brighter, shining like a sea-glass slipper.

Or the scales of a sea-maid’s tail.
