HarperCollins’s William Morrow imprint has plans to introduce a new line of nonfiction and literary fiction. The new line doesn’t yet have a name, but it does have a vision.
Titles published will “seek to investigate, inform, entertain, and inspire conversation,” wrote Liate Stehlik, SVP, Publisher at HarperCollins, in a memo.
Geoff Shandler has joined William Morrow as VP, Editorial Director to run the nonfiction side of this new list. Shandler comes to Morrow from Little, Brown & Company, where he served as Editor in Chief and Editorial Director of the Adult Trade division.

ABC News senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper has landed a book deal with Little, Brown and Company to write Enemy In the Wire about a major battle in Afghanistan.
Geoff Shandler acquired the book from Christy Fletcher at Fletcher and Company. In 2001, Tapper (pictured, via) published Down and Dirty with Little, Brown.
Here’s more about the book, from the release: “[It] will tell the investigative and inspiring story of the 54 US soldiers who were attacked by and ultimately (after more than 18 hours of fighting) prevailed over 300-400 Taliban at Combat Outpost Keating in northeast Afghanistan. Tapper will detail the battle and the soldiers’ heroism and valiant service under fire and tell their stories, those of their loved ones, and those of the eight US troops killed that day. He will also investigate the unusual and compromising geography of the camp — tucked in a vulnerable valley surrounded by three heavily forested mountains near the Pakistan border, and explore the history of the camp within the context of the larger mission in Afghanistan.”
