Best-selling writer for children and comedian David Walliams has been dropped by his longtime publishing house, as confirmed by the firm. A spokesman for the company stated: "Upon deliberation, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish future works by David Walliams."

The publisher has not elaborated on the specific rationale behind the move, noting: "We refrain from speaking about confidential company decisions." An Illustrious Writing Journey Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies worldwide in 55 languages. His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins back in 2008. A number of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies. He has published more than 40 books altogether, which features a holiday title named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn. A Dual Career His career breakthrough occurred on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*. He was made an OBE several years ago in recognition of his work for philanthropic and artistic endeavors. The publisher's decision comes after the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
