to their hearts. The result was the controversial and sensuous
romance Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels, Fifty
Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. In 2015, she
published the #1 bestseller Grey, the story of Fifty
Shades of Grey from the perspective of Christian Grey, and in
2017, the chart-topping Darker, the second part of the Fifty
Shades story from Christian's point of view. Her books have been
published in fifty languages and have sold more than 150 million
copies worldwide.

Weekly's "Person of the Year." Fifty Shades of
Greystayed on The New York Times Best Seller List for
133 consecutive weeks. Fifty Shades Freed won the Goodreads
Choice Award (2012), and Fifty Shades of Greywas selected as
one of the 100 Great Reads, as voted by readers, in PBS's The
Great American Read (2018). Darker has been long-listed
for the 2019 International DUBLIN Literary Award.
She coproduced for Universal Studios the Fifty Shades movies, which
made more than a billion dollars at the box office. The third
installment, Fifty Shades Freed,won the People's Choice
Award for Drama in 2018.
