Introducing #Merky Books
#Merky Books is a new imprint within Penguin Random House UK, dedicated to publishing the best new fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Curated by Stormzy, and launching with his first book Rise Up in November 2018, #Merky Books will publish two to three books per year, and form a home for a new generation of voices.
