Harlequin Trade Publishing is merging its five imprints into three.
Currently, Harlequin publishes roughly 180 titles per year across Canary Street Press, Graydon House Books, Hanover Square Press, Mira Books, and Park Row Books. Following the merger, Harlequin will publish the same number of titles across Hanover Square Press, Mira, and Park Row Books, with Mira Books absorbing Canary Street Press and the Graydon House imprint being phased out over the course of this year. Staff counts will remain the same, the company noted, though some editors will move to other teams.
Mira Books will "return to its roots as a key publisher of romance and romantic fiction," while Park Row Books will "take a bigger position in the upmarket book club and narrative nonfiction spaces." Hanover Square Press is focused on nonfiction and high-concept fiction, and is adding horror and fantasy to its list.
