Ford Ford switches US publishers

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Ford, whose books include The Sportswriter and Independence Day, has left longtime US publisher Alfred A Knopf and switched to Ecco, a literary imprint of HarperCollins, reports the Associated Press.

"I am incredibly pleased and honored to have Richard Ford on the Ecco list," Ecco publisher Daniel Halpern said Tuesday in a statement. "I have read his work for more than 30 years and believe he's as fine a writer as we have in this country. If I had been asked which writer I'd like most to have at Ecco, Richard Ford would be at the top of that list."

In the UK Ford is published by Bloomsbury.
