HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, is launching a new digital-first imprint for “transformational” fiction called HarperLegend.
“HarperLegend will publish visionary fiction from new voices that communicates wisdom, insight, and/or personal growth with an overarching theme of transformation,” explains the press release.
“Call them visionary fiction, spiritual novels, or just stories of change; these are books that not only move us, but transform and illuminate,” explained Mark Tauber, senior vice president and publisher of HarperOne, in a statement about the new imprint. “We have seen the success of this type of fiction as we watch our sales grow and our authors’ influence widen. As we can see from our colleagues at Avon Impulse, and often hear from our readers, digital-first fiction is growing.”
Authors or agents can submit works for consideration online beginning today.
The imprint expands on HarperOne’s legacy of publishing books designed to transform readers, most of which have been non-fiction. These titles include: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy by C. S. Lewis, and Buddha by Deepak Chopra.
Rider Books has acquired a "major new title" giving access to ideas behind mindfulness and cognitive therapy, Mind Whispering by Tara Bennett-Goleman.
