About Harper Collins
HarperCollins Publishers is a British-American multinational publishing conglomerate and one of the "Big Five" English-language publishers. Owned by News Corp, HarperCollins is the second largest consumer book publisher in the world, with a history stretching back over 200 years and UK operations publishing around 1,500 books annually. The company was formed through the 1990 merger of Harper & Row (founded in New York in 1817) and William Collins & Sons (founded in Glasgow in 1819). News Corp acquired Harper & Row in 1987 and William Collins in 1989, combining them to create HarperCollins. The Glasgow-based Collins brought a prestigious catalogue including works by H.G. Wells, Agatha Christie, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis. HarperCollins UK is home to some of the world's most beloved authors. Their fiction roster includes legendary names like Agatha Christie and J.R.R. Tolkien, modern authors like Jeffrey Archer and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and bestselling series including George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy. The non-fiction catalogue features works by prominent historians and thought leaders. HarperCollins Children's Books publishes classics like Paddington Bear, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and The Chronicles of Narnia, alongside contemporary favourites from David Walliams, Michael Morpurgo, and Oliver Jeffers. In 2020, they acquired Egmont Books UK, further strengthening their children's portfolio. The company publishes approximately 10,000 new titles annually in 16 languages with a catalogue of over 200,000 titles.
