It brings us immense joy...

to herald the union of Penguin Random House and Storehouse to forge Women & Words. This pioneering program is not merely a platform but a commitment to amplifying the stories of underrepresented women, ensuring they are not just narrated but enshrined in print.

What elevates our program is its very essence—it’s conceived for you, shaped by you. Earlier this year, we reached out for your voice, your perspective. We sought to understand the challenges you face in the publishing landscape, your literary dreams, and your desires for this initiative. The response was overwhelming, both in numbers and insight. With your generous contribution, we’ve sculpted a program tailored to meet your unique aspirations.

Embarking on this journey, we present a series of five virtual sessions. These curated experiences will impart an understanding of the publishing world, offer insights into the nuanced realms of editorial and marketing, and provide hands-on guidance to ignite your book-writing journey.

And that's merely the beginning.

Save the dates:
