Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau

The Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau is a part of Penguin Random House, the world’s most global trade book publisher. We represent an unrivaled roster of motivational and inspirational speakers whose work is shaping national conversations—on and off the page. We work with venues both across the U.S. and throughout the world to create hugely successful events. Be it a community reads program or convocation, a medical conference or CEO roundtable, our speakers take audiences beyond their everyday horizon.

Our speakers bureau represents Pulitzer Prize winners such as Junot Diaz, Jennifer Egan, and Isabel Wilkerson as well as bestsellers including Gillian Flynn, John Green, Charlaine Harris, Kathryn Stockett, Cheryl Strayed, and Markus Zusak. Our relationship with these speakers begins with the manuscript and continues well after publication of the book. Through the longevity of this relationship we know our speakers and the breadth of their work intimately. It is this knowledge that allows us to customize events for our clients and move beyond standard scripts.

If you are an event or meeting planner, book club or academic programmer, small business or Fortune 500 company, or anyone else seeking a motivational speaker for a lecture, reading or other occasion, then the Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau can help you book that author for your event. If you need advice about your event or are looking for suggestions about a possible speaker, we can help you decide on the right speaker for your audience.
