The Penguin Insiders

Do you want exclusive access inside the world of publishing?

Do you want the chance to meet your favorite authors face-to-face?

Do you want a sneak peek of upcoming Penguin books?

The Penguin Insiders are a select group of teenagers in the NYC area who will come to the Penguin NY office several times a year and give feedback directly to the editors, publishers, and marketing groups on upcoming books and campaigns.

If selected, you will be asked to give feedback on covers, manuscripts, and other parts of the publishing process. We want to hear from YOU! For taking part in this group, you will occasionally receive advanced copies of upcoming Penguin books, Penguin swag and more!

To be considered for the Penguin Insiders, you must be at least 13 years of age, enrolled in school for the 2010-2011 year, and live in the NYC-area. You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from meetings, which will take place in downtown Manhattan. If you are interested in applying, fill out the information below and hit SUBMIT to receive an Application Questionnaire via your parent's email. If chosen as a member of The Penguin Insiders, you will also need to have your parents' permission to participate. Only fully completed applications will be considered.
