BookCon returned to New York City in April, bringing more than 25,000 readers to the Jacob Javits Center for a weekend of discovery, connection, and the buzziest books of the season.
Featuring almost fifty authors, Penguin Random House created a vibrant presence that brought readers, authors, and the book community together.
One registration gets you access to all three sessions as well as a social hour for PRH authors!
This special session will include a welcome and introduction from PRH Global CEO Nihar Malaviya in celebration of the five-year anniversary of PRH Author University!
Penguin Random House is thrilled to invite you to Author University 2026 on Tuesday, March 3, from 1 to 5 p.m. ET on Zoom. Sessions include a deep dive on the current bookselling marketplace, a refresher on your royalty statements and the PRH Author Portal, and a lively author panel on creativity and productivity. The sessions will be followed by a social hour for you to connect with other PRH authors.
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 audiences. Penguin Random House Consumer Insights is excited to present Moments Spring 2026, a report that anticipates consumer sentiments and behaviors we may see during the coming quarter.
Broadcast channels are a feature unique to Instagram that can offer authors opportunities to quickly and easily connect with their most dedicated readers. Here’s how authors can leverage this feature to enhance their presence and engagement on the platform.
Happy 2026! As we ring in the new year, it’s a great time to look back on the many successes our talented authors achieved in 2025. We are excited to work closely with many of you this year, and to celebrate more coming accomplishments!
In case you missed it, the Author Portal has gone through a few minor changes this month.
Along with updating the site’s appearance to better match Penguin Random House branding, we have enhanced the log-in and registration systems. The impact to you is minimal unless you choose to update any of your log-in details.
Rarely do we get to share algorithm tricks that take so little time and effort. Using Amazon’s Author Central may be the best and easiest tip we can offer—one that can directly support your books on their sales page.
