Status: Penguin Random House Withdraws from Book Expo and Book Con

March 18, 2020
By Michael Cader

Though Book Expo officials have been saying this week that they still plan on convening in late May as scheduled, Penguin Random House announced Wednesday after that they do not plan to participate. The company said in a brief statement: “In light of the New York City and State guidance to substantially limit the size of events and number of participants in public gatherings, we regret that we have had to make the difficult decision to withdraw as a participant in BookExpo and BookCon 2020. We will be exploring additional ways to connect with booksellers, librarians and readers going forward.”
