News Corporation's HarperCollins book unit has launched Broadside Books to publish titles under the leadership of editor Adam Bellow, son of novelist Saul Bellow.
To the New York Times, Bellow identified himself as a "conservative in a liberal industry," one dedicated to bring "news from the outside world -- or reality -- to the New York political cocoon."
Bellow has worked with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, David Brock and Dinesh D’Souza. He promises books of ideas, culture, history and biographies from the right viewpoint.
The NYT reports that Bellow is working on three titles that will begin to debut in January. They are “Death by Liberalism” (J.R. Dunn), “The Coming Entitlement Bomb (Peter Ferrara) and “The Free Market Capitalist’s Survival Guide” (Jerry Bowyer).
Harper Collins dates its founding to 1817. It has published Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and H.G. Wells. News Corp. acquired Harper & Row in 1987.
