🔗 Share this article David Walliams parted ways with book publisher. Acclaimed children's author and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, according to an announcement. A spokesman for the publisher commented: "Following a thorough review, and under the leadership of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing future works by David Walliams." Media sources suggest that the conclusion was made after an review of allegations of questionable actions towards young women. The firm did not confirm the reasons for its decision, stating: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions." A Prolific Writing Journey Walliams is one of the UK's most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding in excess of 60 million copies worldwide in five dozen languages. The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago. A number of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as television films. To date, he has released over four dozen titles in total, which features a holiday title named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins this past October. A Dual Career His career breakthrough occurred on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*. He received an OBE in 2017 for his services to philanthropic and artistic endeavors. This development follows the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO last fall.
