Founding publisher of Thomas Allen Publishers Patrick Crean has joined HarperCollins Canada to oversee his own imprint, Patrick Crean Editions, which will publish between eight and 12 titles per year with a focus on Canadian literary fiction and non-fiction. “In these perilous times in publishing, editorial is under such siege by corporatism to produce, to make a profit,” Crean told Quill & Quire. “Of course, HarperCollins is that, but they really and truly seem to be devoted to the editorial function and understand it, and that’s what drew me there.” HarperCollins Canada publisher and editor-in-chief Iris Tupholme said the launch titles on Crean’s list may appear as early as May 2013: “We’re not in any rush to put together a list before it’s ready, but if Patrick has titles ready to publish then we’ll go full steam ahead.”
