🔗 Share this article David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher. Acclaimed writer for children and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, according to an announcement. A representative for the publisher stated: "After careful consideration, and following the appointment of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing additional books by David Walliams." Reports indicate that the move was made after an inquiry regarding claims about questionable actions involving female individuals. The firm declined to specify the reasons for its decision, stating: "It is not our policy to discuss confidential company decisions." A Highly Successful Publishing History Walliams ranks among Britain's most successful children's authors, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies worldwide in 55 languages. The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins back in 2008. A number of his books, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies. His bibliography includes in excess of 40 works combined, encompassing a holiday title titled *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October. A Dual Career His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*. He received an OBE in 2017 honoring his contributions to charity and the arts. This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
