Tara Weikum has been promoted to v-p, publisher, of a new, to-be-named imprint within HarperCollins Children's Books. Launching in winter 2025, the imprint will publish fiction that "sits at the corner of commercial and literary for middle grade and teen readers," according to the company. Weikum will report to Erica Sussman, v-p, publisher at HarperCollins Children's Books.
During Weikum's career at HarperCollins, she has published a number of bestselling and award-winning titles, including the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi; The One and Only series by Katherine Applegate; Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhhà Lai; and the I Am Number Four series by Pittacus Lore.
