Anne Collins will retire in March 2026. She was most recently executive editor, but also served as publisher of Knopf Random House Canada Publishing Group for 11 years.
PRH Canada CEO Kristin Cochrane writes, “Over the decades, countless authors have chosen Penguin Random House Canada as their publishing home specifically so they can work with Anne. She has helped to shape not only the literary landscape of this country, she has promoted literacy and the arts through her work serving on boards from Toronto Arts Council, of which she was president of for six years, PEN Canada, the Laidlaw Foundation, the Advisory Board of the Humber School for Writers, the Mayor’s Roundtable on the Arts, and as Chair of the Advisory Board of the King’s College MFA in Creative Non-Fiction.”
Colleen Hoover
The author revealed in an Elle Magazine profile that she has four new books in the works. The magazine writes that two of the “books will be called One Good Reason and One Bad Reason, and will center on two brothers whose last name is…Reason. Both books will be released on the same day, she hopes, told from the female perspective, and with entirely distinct plots, except for one overlapping scene.”
“The more pressure there is on me, the more likely I will get them done,” Hoover tells the magazine. “So print that s***t.”
