On 1 May 2007 The Friday Project's Managing Director Clare Christian won the Nibbie for UK Young Publisher of the Year. Liquidation and sale Following losses in excess of £1,700,000, the Friday Project went into liquidation on 30 March 2008. After much speculation, in May 2008 HarperCollins UK bought certain assets of The Friday Project from its administrator, hiring Scott Pack and also Clare Christian (no longer employed by them), and taking on several front and backlist titles; the first title to be published under the new Friday Project imprint was the critically acclaimed novel The State of Me by Nasim Marie Jafry. Closure In 2014, the Bookseller magazine reported that Scott Pack was departing the Friday Project and that the imprint "will now be wound down."
