Harper Collins Profits Are Up
By Jane • May 9th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •With everyone else posting positive years, Harper Collins had 2 glum quarters. In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, however, profits are up at Harper Collins by a whopping 11%. Overall profits in the first nine months of the fiscal year were down by 20%.
The 3d quarter rise could be attributed in part by strong sales of Sydney Poitier’s The Measure of a Man which was an Oprah pick. Harper hopes to end on a high note in quarter four with George Tenet’s release, At the Center of the Storm, and other political books.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
