Warriors[]

HarperCollins has been the publisher of all Warriors series books since 2003, when Into the Wild first debuted.[4] Since then, they've continued to publish all subsequent installments.[5]
The concept for Warriors began development when HarperCollins asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats. Holmes was initially not enthusiastic, saying she "couldn't imagine coming up with enough ideas". However, she played with some story concepts, developing a fictional world with the added elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict.[6]
