Take a Stranger

About Me



Hi, there. It's a Harper Perennial off-shoot page. How's it going? We're here to collect and promote some NEW WRITERS in a campaign called TAKE A STRANGER HOME WITH YOU. Yeah, it's fantastically hip and libertine, but when it comes down to it, it's not about promotion, it's about you.

It's time to take a chance on an author you've never heard of before. Obviously. TAKE A STRANGER HOME WITH YOU: Available wherever books are sold.



My Interests

I'd like to meet:


New writers!

And check out these fancy widgets! Collect them all...
