Dear Authors,
We are delighted to announce the launch of our Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month campaign, “Book Your Vacaciones with Penguin Random House”!
This campaign is an integral part of our ongoing I Am La Cultura program, which aims to captivate readers by introducing them to their next favorite books penned by the many talented Hispanic and Latine authors who are making a significant impact on society and culture.
At Penguin Random House, direct communication and relationships with readers are key to marketplace success, and strong consumer marketing and outreach begin with understanding our audience. Penguin Random House Consumer Insights is excited to present Moments Fall 2024, a report that predicts consumer sentiment and behaviors we can expect during the coming quarter.
The Penguin Random House Intellectual Freedom Taskforce is continuing to oversee a variety of initiatives to protect the freedom to read. As you may have seen, on August 29, we filed a new legal case against the state of Florida, challenging the book banning provisions of HB 1069, in addition to our ongoing lawsuits in Iowa and Escambia County, Florida. During Banned Books Week in September, our Banned Wagon tour will hit the road again, visiting nine communities across the U.S. to give away free copies of banned books and share ways to take action in the fight against book bans.
We on PRH’s Author Development Team love to provide authors with resources and guidance for every part of the publishing journey. From the monthly Author Newsletter, Author University, and the Author Playbook, here are some of our most popular marketing tips and other resources that you may want to check out!
