August 6, 2026

On July 27, Penguin Random House, alongside Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, Sourcebooks, and the Authors Guild, filed an amended complaint in statewide book banning law Penguin Random House v.

The books include:

Multnomah, an imprint of Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group, welcomes bestselling author, hip-hop recording artist, and Bible teacher Jackie Hill Perry to its publishing program with a major, multi-book, multi-format agreement. One of the most theologically distinctive and culturally engaged voices in the church today, the program launches with WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, a trade book for publication in Spring 2028 that offers readers a biblically grounded vision of sanctification, helping them to stop striving for self-improvement and instead trust the transforming work God is already doing in them. Drawing on Scripture and Perry’s own hard-won experience of walking through darkness toward holiness, the book makes a case the church urgently needs: that God is not asking His people to get better but making them new.

February 26, 2026

From Scott Moyers, President & Publisher, Penguin Press: It is with great sadness that I write with the news of the passing of our beloved colleague Ann Godoff, Penguin Press’s founder, President, and Editor-in-Chief. Ann’s impact on American book culture over the past four decades is incalculable. An editor of immense range in fiction, nonfiction and poetry, Ann shepherded into print innumerable New York Times bestsellers, multiple winners of every major award, and works that have appeared on all manner of best books lists - of the year, the decade, and the century.  Beyond the industry accolades, her legacy should be measured in her success in helping authors create indelible new spaces in the minds of readers.
