HarperCollins Publishers is the world's second-largest consumer book publisher. HarperCollins is headquartered in New York and has publishing activities in 17 countries. It is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. HarperCollins publishes non-fiction as well as fiction books. Its non-fiction categories are categorized into general interest, business, self-improvement, food, sports, science, technology, health, and children's literature.

The company was founded in Chicago in 1945 by Benjamin Randall Harper, who had worked for Henry Holt & Company since its inception in 1902. The name "Harper" comes from his father, a Baptist minister. Harper wanted to create a house that published books of quality and importance that other publishers would want to print. In 1946, he hired Austin Walsh as an editor at the newly formed company. Together, they developed a list of popular authors including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Steinbeck. This early success helped Harper gain support from the American Book Publisher's Association, which awarded him Book of the Year honors for 1947-48. In 1949, he moved the company's headquarters to New York City.
