Random House

Random House is one of the world's oldest and most prominent trade book publishers, founded in 1927 in New York City. It publishes fiction, nonfiction, and reference titles across a broad range of imprints and genres, working with authors through literary agents to distribute royalties worldwide. In 2013, Random House merged with Penguin Group to form Penguin Random House, now the largest trade book publisher in the world and a subsidiary of German media conglomerate Bertelsmann.
