i robbed harpercollins 😳
okay okay, don’t worry: the caption is a joke. BUT IT FELT LIKE I DID!!
harpercollins invited a bunch of book influencers to their offices and it was so much fun. we got a tour, had a zoo pals pizza party, got to ask any publishing questions we wanted, and then competed in a scavenger hunt! (my team won. bad witches for life.)
we got books during the scavenger hunt and the last stop was their filming studio, where we could pick out MORE books! i picked so many that they had to ship them home even though i live here. 🫣
thank you so much to harpercollins for the coolest night ever.

Stepping into the HarperCollins office was like entering a book lover's dream! Beyond the exciting scavenger hunt and the thrill of picking out my own treasures, what really struck me was how their books were presented. Imagine walls lined with shelves, not just for storage, but as a vibrant 'books display' of stories waiting to be discovered. It wasn't just about rows of spines; there were thoughtfully arranged sections showcasing new releases and beloved backlist titles. I remember seeing a dedicated area for fantasy and sci-fi that immediately drew me in, making it so easy to spot potential new favorites. Speaking of favorites, one of the highlights of my haul, and something that always catches my eye, is anything from Harper Voyager. For those who might not know, Harper Voyager is HarperCollins' dedicated imprint for science fiction, fantasy, and horror. They're renowned for publishing some truly immersive and imaginative stories. If you're into epic world-building, intricate magic systems, or thrilling futuristic adventures, you absolutely have to check out their catalog. I was ecstatic to find titles like 'The Blood Gift' and 'House of Blight' in the stack I brought home – these are exactly the kind of gripping reads that define the Voyager brand. Their books often have stunning covers too, which definitely makes them stand out on any books display, whether in a store or at a publisher's office! What I love about imprints like Harper Voyager is how they curate a specific genre, making it easier for readers like me to find quality content. It’s almost like having a trusted friend recommend books based on your taste. When I'm browsing online or in a bookstore, I often look for the Harper Voyager logo because I know I'm likely to find something fantastic. For anyone looking to dive deeper into fantasy or sci-fi, I highly recommend exploring their authors. They have a knack for finding breakout talents and established masters alike. My personal tip for finding great HarperCollins books, especially from imprints like Voyager, is to pay attention to their social media accounts and newsletters; they often highlight upcoming releases and reader favorites. And sometimes, just like my incredible experience, you might even get a chance to see them up close in person! Beyond just the big names, HarperCollins has such a diverse range of imprints, each with its own focus. If you're ever wondering where to start, consider what genres you love most and then explore their specific imprints. For example, if you're into young adult, look for HarperTeen. For literary fiction, explore Harper. It's like a treasure map for book lovers! Seeing all those books, beautifully arranged, really underscored how much care goes into publishing, not just writing the story, but also how it's presented to readers. It makes the act of 'book shopping' even more exciting, knowing there's a whole world of stories waiting on those shelves.
