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.
Last month, we hosted Author University 2025: Mastering Media and Publicity, featuring some in-house experts (and our very first outside expert!) sharing insights on podcast guest appearances, advanced media strategies, and online crisis management. For those of you who couldn’t attend or who want to review the content again, we have good news: All the sessions are now available to view on the Author Portal!
Across three sessions this year, Author University hosted hundreds of guests to discuss insights on various parts of the author life. We’ll be back with more live sessions in the new year—but if you’re unfamiliar with Author U seminars or missed any of the live sessions this year, we’re looking back at our 2024 panels with some key tips and takeaways to get you started!
