HarperCollins Christian Publishing announces launch of Harper Catholic
HarperCollins Christian Publishing (HCCP) announced Aug. 10 the launch of Harper Catholic, a new imprint serving Catholic readers, authors, booksellers, parishes, and organizations.
The new branch of HCCP will be led by associate publisher Kristi McDonald, who has over 15 years of experience in Catholic publishing, spending 14 years at Ave Maria Press.
McDonald told EWTN News in an interview that Harper Catholic comes at a time where the company recognizes “the unique spiritual needs of Catholics and the tremendous opportunity to serve a Church that is growing and changing in the United States and around the world.”
“We’re seeing new converts coming into the Church, Catholics rediscovering their faith, and readers at every stage looking for resources that can help them go deeper,” she said. “That inspires us to publish books that feed that spiritual hunger, answer meaningful questions, and accompany people in the ordinary realities of Catholic life.”
The creation of Harper Catholic also comes after the success seen in Catholic Bible Press, which is HCCP’s first Catholic imprint and publishes editions of the Bible such as the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition…
