HarperCollins in Trouble
On Tuesday, HarperCollins closed its Collins doors and cut around 60 positions. The Bowen Press is also closing.
It is unsure whether the Bowen books will be released under the HarperCollins Children’s Books or HarperTeen label.
It’s a sad day when we see something like Bowen Press close. It was, as they stated, Provacative, Bold, New, Graphic…and in my words…needed.
Many publishers are in trouble these days, as well as print publications. I think we’ll see more reorganization of publishers and some even discontinued. It’s not just the economy, although that’s a major factor. I’ve seen changing trends in publishing for several years.
