Created as a children's graphic novel imprint in 2020, HarperAlley is expanding to include a wider array of formats, such as books for adults and manga and manhwa for readers of all ages.
HarperAlley has published bestselling books by influencers such as FGTeeV and PopularMMOs, as well as award winners and finalists for the National Book Award, the Newbery Medal, and the Eisner and Harvey Awards, among others. HarperAlley's list includes many books co-branded with other HarperCollins imprints. Those titles include the National Book Award finalist Nimona by ND Stevenson and Jerry Craft's New Kid, the first and only graphic novel to be awarded the Newbery Medal. Both works are published by Quill Tree and co-branded with HarperAlley.
