Penguin Random House Summer Publishing Party with UK Manager Rosie Barlow

Join Astound UK Manager, Rosie Barlow, as she reviews a wonderful evening in celebration of an incredible year of publications with Penguin Random House!

What an exhilarating and unforgettable experience it was attending the Penguin Random House Summer publishing party! As an artist agent, I couldn't have asked for a more vibrant and inspiring event. The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with creativity and the excitement of countless literary masterminds coming together under one roof. From the moment I stepped foot into the venue, I knew I was in for a night of artistic celebration like no other. Engaging conversations with brilliant authors, passionate editors, and innovative designers truly shine a spotlight on the enthusiasm and passion we all have for the world of publishing. The energy of the crowd, accompanied by the delightful clinking of glasses, set the stage for a night of networking and forging invaluable connections, as well as finding some exciting new artist talent that I can not wait to announce to you in the coming months.

As the night unfolded, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in being part of this incredible community that breathes life into captivating stories and shares them with the world. Undoubtedly, at an unforgettable event such as this, it highlights the incredible talent I am surrounded by on a daily basis and I feel honoured to be representing and supporting extraordinary artists who have the power to shape the literary landscape for years to come. Astound artists have worked with Penguin Random House on numerous titles, including “The O.D.D. Squad: Rise of Invisidog” illustrated by Vincent Batignole and “Brother Wulf: Wulf's War”?illustrated by Alessia Trunfio, and I look forward to the future partnerships Astound illustrators will have with such an iconic publishing house. Cheers to Penguin Random House for hosting a party that encapsulates the very essence of creativity and camaraderie in the publishing world!
