betweenthesouls asked: Does Penguin have a publishing house in the UK? I've been contemplating moving abroad and I still want to work in the publishing world. I know that there are many publishing houses and corporations but I do love Penguin.

idazlea asked: I'm a second-year Journalism major. I really want to intern at Penguin Publishing in NYC! What positions would be best suited to my communications expertise?
super-star-deactivated20111007 asked: Is it possible to purchase book jackets?
skppr asked: How should someone go about starting a career in publishing? I'm so passionate about YA fiction and it would be my dream to work in the publishing industry after I finish my degree but there's not much information about getting started in the industry out there.
nerdylikearockstar asked: I'm a teen librarian with a question! I've often seen authors make a point of telling readers that they don't choose the cover art for their books. I'm just wondering, who does collaborate to make those covers and how much interaction do they have with the text? Thanks!

Do you have a burning question about publishing?
Then ask! If we don’t know the answer, we will call upon the collective knowledge of the Penguin Young Readers Group staff and find out as much as we can.
The way the Ask box on Tumblr works: You can ask your question under your Tumblr name or anonymously (if you’re not on Tumblr, for instance), and we will answer the questions publicly here on our Tumblr.

– Susane Colasanti, Waiting for You (via -daysgoby)
Appropriate end-of-summer quote is appropriate. Our summer Fridays end after Labor Day. More than a few tears being shed in the Penguin offices over that. On the other hand: fall books! Fall is such an exciting publishing season, and there are a TON...

If I get a "Hanklerfished" copy of The Fault in...
allaboutthefalling:
First of all, THIS GIF.
Second of all, I’m so, so interested to see if any of the TFioS copies we eventually get in the office are Hanklerfished/signed in a color other than green/contain anything other than a J. Scribble. WE WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE. I promise to take pictures if indeed we find any outliers amongst our stock.
bruisedheart asked: Why are The Future of Us ARCs sent in those AWESOME BOXES? Is there some sort of significance there? I am SO INTRIGUED.

A post by Kubi whose heart is exhausted. In a good way. Really, much...
