Harper Group has launched a new imprint, Harper Edge, that will focus on publishing nonfiction titles that "help people realize the fullest expression of themselves, hone their edge, and claim their futures," the company said, adding that the imprint will partner with authors "who are pioneers, seasoned experts, and catalysts for change, guiding readers through pathways of self-discovery, transformation, and renewal."
Hollis Heimbouch, senior v-p, will lead Harper Edge as its publisher while continuing as publisher of the Harper Business imprint. Editor Kirby Sandmeyer will acquire titles for both Harper Edge and Harper Business.
"Work doesn't end when you leave the office, and personal growth doesn't pause during business hours," Heimbouch said. "People are navigating careers that demand creativity and reinvention, relationships that require empathy and authenticity, and communities crying out for engaged citizens. They need frameworks that work across all these domains--not another life hack, but actual wisdom for the complexity of modern existence."
Publishing approximately 10 titles per year, Harper Edge will launch next spring with the release of What to Make of a Life by Jim Collins.
