Book World Has Landed at San Diego Comic-Con!
Book World Presented by Penguin Random House has officially kicked off at San Diego Comic–Con, using our full brand power to make a strong statement on the show floor, to attract attendees, and to become THE place for books at the show. As a consumer show that attracts 130K+ attendees each year, we will continue to position PRH as an author and brand–driven destination for readers. The Comic-Con audience is highly engaged, loyal to brands, and reads more than the average person, making this show the perfect place for us to sell and promote a wide range of books!
Here is a sneak peek of what consumers can expect from Book World Presented by Penguin Random House:
- Author Appearances In-Booth: Our booth will be filled this weekend with authors signing throughout the event, including Pierce Brown, Erin A. Craig, Sammy Harkam, John Gallagher, Genevieve Gornichec, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Lincoln Peirce, audiobook narrator Marc Thompson, and more!
- Too Big for the Booth: Some authors are too popular to be on the show floor with us, but we are still so excited that they will be joining us! Rachel Smythe, author of LORE OLYMPUS, will be signing in the autographing area after her three panels.
Con Edition: Fans will have a chance to grab the con-exclusive edition of STAR WARS: INQUISITOR: RISE OF THE RED BLADE (Random House Worlds) by Delilah S. Dawson!
