Publishing During A Pandemic: A Conversation with Skip Dye of Penguin Random House

How has COVID-19 impacted the book publishing industry? Our guest Skip Dye - SVP of Library Sales and Digital Strategy and SVP Director of Sales Operations at Penguin Random House - knows a thing or two about how publishers are adapting to this very different world we find ourselves in. We pack a lot into this episode. Learn the ways in which Coronavirus affects a publisher's supply chain, how PRH is responding to the Black Lives Matter movement, the changes in reading tastes, how authors are still connecting to readers, the evolving publisher/library relationship, and of course what Skip's been reading lately.   BOOKS MENTIONED Intimations by Zadie Smith There There by Tommy Orange The Places That Scare You by Pema Chödrön Born A Crime by Trevor Noah
