Prhs

PRHs, or Penguin Random House, is a multinational book publishing company created in 2013 through the merger of Penguin Group and Random House. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bertelsmann, one of the world’s largest media firms. The merger united two of the largest English-language publishers and established PRH as a leading general-interest trade publisher with a broad catalog of fiction, non-fiction, and children’s titles.

The company operates through a network of imprints and divisions, including Penguin, Random House, Knopf, Viking, Dutton, Crown, and others. These imprints publish works across diverse genres and markets, and PRH coordinates international rights, licensing, production, marketing, and distribution to reach readers worldwide. Its portfolio encompasses renowned authors, award-winning titles, and enduring series, along with a growing emphasis on translation publishing and digital formats.

Geographically, PRH maintains a substantial presence in North America, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and other regions, offering titles in multiple languages. The group supports a robust ecosystem for authors, agents, and editors, and engages in activities related to rights sales, audiobooks, and e-book publication, in addition to traditional print editions.

PRH’s operations emphasize editorial quality, readership accessibility, and innovation in publishing, including initiatives related to diversity, inclusion, and author services. As a major player in the global book industry, PRH influences market trends, distribution practices, and the development of publishing ecosystems across multiple markets.
