Hi!

Yes this is the correct use of a plural. The only other "mistake" is: "... " Using which instead of whom would be preferable here, considering the publishing company is not a person, and we use "who" for persons.

If he is the only author of the book, then use "the author"; otherwise, say "one of the authors."
