Rights

Penguin Random House UK Group Rights represents foreign and domestic rights across the company’s seven divisions.

One team represents Ebury, Cornerstone, Penguin General and Penguin Press, another represents Transworld, Michael Joseph and Vintage, and the third represents illustrated titles across the seven divisions. A separate team represents the Penguin Random House UK Children’s division, which includes Ladybird, Puffin and Penguin imprints.

  • Serial rights: publish extracts from our titles in newspapers and magazines.
  • Audio rights: license our books for audio recordings and broadcast.
  • Translations: buy rights to translate our UK titles into other languages.

Referred to as “TV, film and stage rights”, “dramatisation and documentary rights” or “media rights”, we work to license our works for adaptation into other formats including but not limited to television series, film, theatre production, musical, opera, podcast, radio drama, and song.
