David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Best-selling children's author and comedian David Walliams has parted ways with his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the publisher said: "Upon deliberation, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing any new titles by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the move was reached following an review of claims about conduct deemed unsuitable involving women.
The firm declined to specify the specific rationale behind the move, noting: "We do not comment on internal matters."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most prolific writers for young readers, having sold more than 60 million copies internationally in five dozen languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins in 2008.
Some of his titles, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as small-screen adaptations.
His bibliography includes over four dozen titles altogether, which features a holiday title called *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
His initial claim to fame came on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE back in 2017 honoring his contributions to charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss last fall.
