David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Prolific children's author and TV personality David Walliams has been dropped by his UK book publisher, according to an announcement.
A spokesman for the company stated: "Upon deliberation, and with the guidance of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the decision was reached following an inquiry regarding reports of conduct deemed unsuitable towards female individuals.
The firm did not confirm the motivations for this action, adding: "We refrain from speaking about confidential company decisions."
A Prolific Publishing History
Walliams ranks among Britain's most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies internationally in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins in 2008.
A number of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into small-screen adaptations.
To date, he has released over four dozen titles combined, which features a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October.
From Screen to Page
His initial claim to fame came on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE in 2017 honoring his contributions to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This development follows the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO in October.
