Established by publisher Thomas Dunne in 1986, Thomas Dunne Books is based out of the Flatiron Building in New York City. "An imprint that scorns snobbery, prizes the quirky and commercial and flourishes through a unique form of high-volume publishing," Thomas Dunne Books produces 25-35 titles each year, covering a range of genres including commercial and literary fiction, mysteries, thrillers, biography, politics, history, sports, and popular science. In its more than 30-year history, Thomas Dunne Books has published numerous New York Times bestsellers including Dan Brown's first novel Digital Fortress, more than 20 books by international sensation Rosamunde Pilcher, a series of Walking Dead novels written by series creator Robert Kirkman, A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowden, the Meg Langslow mysteries by Donna Andrews, To Try Men's Souls and other historical fiction by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and many, many more. Its recent bestsellers include The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and America Divided or United. Currently, Thomas Dunne Books publishes trade paperbacks through St. Martin's Griffin and Picador (imprint) and mysteries through St. Martin's Minotaur. HistoryThe imprint signed David Irving, a scholar, for a Joseph Goebbels biography in 1996 but had to drop the book when it was found out that Irving was a Holocaust denier[2] for having links to Institute for Historical Review, "the literary center of the United States Holocaust-denial movement."[1] In October 1999, St. Martin's Press recalled a Dunne book, Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President, and destroyed them after various incidents about the author, J. H. Hatfield, surfaced. The incidents were that he had served prison time for a car-bombing attempt on his former boss's life and that he included an anonymous accusation about Bush. A St. Martin's executive editor resigned in protest over the publication.[1] In November, Dunne editors stopped attending St. Martin editorial meetings and started their own.[2] Authors

This followed the lead of other publishing house that formed their own film units Random House Films, which co-finances films, and Alloy Entertainment, which develops properties in house with writer-for-hire deals and moves it through books and films. Macmillan originated two concepts that they are shopping, a submarine thriller and Grimm City, a thriller based on lesser known Grimm Fairy Tales meets Sin City plus made one deal for "Tempest".[4]Tempest was the project that led to the founding of Macmillan Films. Deneen was looking for a young adult when he found Julie Cross' "Enemy of Time" submission from the slush pile. He had her rework the structure to increase its potential in other media becoming "Tempest" with the company hold the film rights.[5] This work was the first deal of MF with Summit Entertainment, who pick up it as a movie in 2010 before the book was published. The movie deal gave the book a higher profile thus increasing its sale upon its January 2012 release enough for a sequel to be in the works for a 2013 release.[6] A former Endeavor and WME intellectual property rights agent, Richie Kern was hired in March 2013 as Dunne editor to assist in evaluating concepts for Macmillan Films.[7] Macmillan EntertainmentIn 2013 Macmillan Films was renamed Macmillan Entertainment as the division expanded its reach to books from all Macmillan Publishers imprints and continued under the leadership of Brendan Deneen.[8][9]Filmographydevelopment and/or production
