Did you know that Penguin Random House employees travel all over the country to sell you on their favorite books? Just last month, at #SanDiegoComicCon, our colleagues gathered to showcase their buzziest books. Backed with diverse expertise (and endless reading hours), the panelists provided attendees with a wealth of exciting new book recs across various genres.    Swoon-worthy, fantasy, adventures & fables, or horror—what genre will you be diving into? Tell us in the comments! #booklovers

🎧 📚 We are excited to share that Penguin Random House Audio is now taking applications for the fifth session of their award-winning Narrator Mentorship program! The PRH Audio Narrator Mentorship program launched in 2021 with the intention to increase diversity and inclusion within the audiobook industry and to develop new narrator talent, particularly from underrepresented groups. Check out the program's website here: https://bit.ly/4dlzjiR   In the past, 73 actors have participated and over 90% of participants in the first three sessions have been hired to record on nearly 300 audiobook productions, for PRH Audio and beyond. Those selected to become mentees will be guided by their mentors in individual coaching sessions, producing demo samples, and more over a six-month period!   Learn more about this opportunity from mentee Shawn Jain below. And if you know of someone with prior performance experience who is looking to take the next step, tag them in the comments! #mentorship #audiobooks

You might have noticed our page looks a little different. That's because last week we unveiled our new global corporate logo, which combines the Penguin Random House wordmark with the Penguin logo. While our corporate logo is evolving, our name is not changing. We are Penguin Random House! As the Penguin logo nears 90 years of literary renown, there's no better time to dive into its history. It all starts in 1935, with a 21-year-old visiting a London Zoo (read more here!). And tell us your memories of the Penguin logo in the comments! We'd love to know how the Penguin is part of your story.
