NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HarperCollins Focus announced today the launch of its new gift book imprint, Harper Celebrate, expanding the publishing company's footprint into celebratory, seasonal and lifestyle books. The imprint will produce uplifting and inspiring, visually striking books using high-quality design and sophisticated detail in both the interior and exterior packaging. Harper Celebrate will be based in Nashville, under the direction of vice president and publisher, Michael Aulisio.

Aulisio commented, "There is a strong need for books that will help readers be inspired, find peace and cultivate positive personal change, as well as be entertained. I'm honored and excited for the opportunity we have to acquire and publish books that will beautifully celebrate the people, occasions, interests, and gifts in a reader's life."

Harper Celebrate will look to acquire projects such as daily readers, lifestyle books, journals, photography-driven books, literary graphic novels, hospitality, home decorating, organization, and crafting; poetry, personal time management, and mindfulness; and occasion-focused titles such as holiday celebrations, graduation, and gifts for special persons.
