Bea Fitzgerald and Sarah Underwood attend Harper Fire launch party
Harper Fire launched at City Arts Bar, London, last week (29th February), with authors including Bea Fitzgerald (Girl, Goddess, Queen) and Sarah Underwood (Lies We Sing to the Sea) in attendance, alongside Harper Fire rising stars Rachel Greenlaw (Compass and Blade), Salomey Doku (Brielle and Bear), Leanne Egan (Lover Birds), and Lauren Wilson (The Goldens).
More than 200 agents, retailers, authors, influencers, and media gathered from across the industry. HarperCollins first revealed the new imprint in January. The first book, Compass and Blade by Rachel Greenlaw, published on 29th February.
Nick Lake, fiction publisher, said: “This is the most excited I’ve been in my nearly 20 years at HarperCollins. This is a list that will celebrate and builds on a successful track record of publishing bestsellers and critically acclaimed novels for teens, young adults and crossover readers, while allowing us to reach those readers and our community more directly – people who, like us, love books and love YA.”
