This question is similar to 'Why do you want to work here?'. To answer this question effectively, it's essential that you have reasoning that is specific and will stand out from other people competing for this role. Giving a general answer such as, 'You have a great workplace culture' could potentially disqualify you from winning the position.

"I have seen the HarperCollins logo consistently inside my favorite books for many years. Each year HarperCollins comes out with the hottest new authors, thrilling a variety of readers and audiences. With HarperCollins, you know you are picking up a book from a quality author; even when they are not a household name. In addition to this, your company is highly involved in supporting creativity and culture; a topic that gets me fired up. You support several non-profit organizations and initiatives committed to promoting literacy and education such as
First Book, Literacy Partners, Volunteers of America's Operation Backpack program, and Change for Kids."
