HarperCollins is the oldest publisher in both Australia and New Zealand with a heritage dating back to the bush ballads and school books of the late nineteenth century. Today, HarperCollins produces print and e-books, and was one of the first Australian publishers to turn much of the deep backlist into e-books to broaden the life of a book. HarperCollins believes that publishing is a collaborative business with everyone in the company contributing in some way to maximising the author’s work.
