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.
