What is the difference between an imprint and a publishing company?
A. Random House is a publishing company that comprises a group of imprints that were once separate businesses. Each imprint has a slightly different publishing philosophy. Most imprints publish either hardback or paperback editions, so the same title usually appears under two different imprints. For instance John Grisham is published by the imprints Century and Arrow which are both part of Random House. Random House imprints include: Arrow, Century, Chatto & Windus, Ebury, Everyman, Harvill Secker, Hutchinson, Jonathan Cape, Mainstream, Pimlico, Rider, Vermilion, Vintage, William Heinemann and Yellow Jersey. Random House Children’s Books is also comprised of a large number of separate imprints. You can check the current titles of each imprint by making a selection from the dropdown list at the top of the page. A full list of imprints, including Children’s, can be found on the Publishers page.
