Conclusion

HarperCollins Publishers and Simon & Schuster both sit under Ontario, and that pairing is the point: two of the largest trade houses in the world, publishing fiction and nonfiction for general readers rather than for a regional or academic audience. California, Texas and Florida carry their own imprints and their own editorial identities, while Ontario holds these two. Should you need publishing houses in Toronto, the tag is the same one.
