HarperCollins Publishers has partnered with Ediouro Group to form HarperCollins Brasil. The newly formed unit combines the publisher’s existing operations of Thomas Nelson Brasil and Harlequin Brasil with Ediouro’s commercial trade publishing titles and personnel.
HarperCollins Brasil will publish about 350 titles per year from across the HarperCollins catalog. This will include: trade, children’s, Christian and romance titles, in addition to titles specifically by Brazilian authors. Antonio Araujo will serve as Executive Director and Kaike Nane is the Publisher for the outpost.
“We’re excited to announce this new organization and investment in Brazil, and are committed to expanding our capabilities to better serve authors there,” stated Brian Murray, President and CEO of HarperCollins Publishers. “This gives us greater scale in a critical and growing market, and is another step in our plans to publish our diverse list of authors globally, while also publishing local authors.”
