HarperCollins, the publisher of such authors as David Wroblewski and Joyce Carol Oates has closed the Collins division, dedicated to nonfiction books, and laid off a "small percentage" of employees.
The cuts were widely expected after HarperCollins, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., reported poor earnings last week for the quarter that ended Dec. 31, 2008.
Random House Inc., Simon & Schuster and MacMillan are among the publishers who have announced layoffs in the past two months.
