HarperCollins Grows Globally; Faber, in U.S.

摘要

In a press release from the London Book Fair dated April 14, HarperCollins announced the expansion of its foreign-language publishing with the formation of HarperCollins Holland, HarperCollins Japan, HarperCollins Nordic (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark), and HarperCollins Polska (Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia). The move, which builds on the Harlequin acquisition last year, gives the company a broader global reach by extending existing Harlequin publishing programs in those markets. It had been signaled April 10 with the appointment of Chantal Restivo-Alessi, HarperCollins (HC) chief digital officer, as executive VP, international. HC plans to publish 30-50 new titles by English-language HC authors starting in fall 2015 in 15 foreign-language markets, including the new divisions; the expansion won't diminish the Harlequin publishing programs in those areas.
