"While our first priority is to sell books through as many different retail channels as possible, we are pleased to provide this platform for our authors who want to sell directly. Our authors can also be certain that their books will always be available to consumers through HarperCollins, even if they are difficult to find or experiencing shipping delays elsewhere," said Brian Murray, President and CEO of HarperCollins Publishers. "Since we view this program as both a service to our authors and a partnership with them, those who participate will receive additional earnings."
