Cornerstone

Cornerstone is a division within the iconic publisher Penguin Random House. Its books celebrate a spectacular range of voices across a rainbow of categories, proudly dotted all over the bookshop.

Promising to find the biggest readership imaginable for every book, Cornerstone teams like to think big and not get too caught up in traditional classifications or categories. Determined to honour the author at the centre of every new release, Cornerstone’s multiple departments wrap around each book methodically, applying a vast and nuanced range of skill and experience. Everyone at Cornerstone plays a role in shaping beautiful details, and every little piece can be the cornerstone.

Six distinct imprints make up Cornerstone: Century, Del Rey, Inklore, Hutchinson Heinemann, #MerkyBooks, and Cornerstone Press — and every Cornerstone book goes on to become a Penguin paperback. Each imprint has its own focus, but the division’s overall power is its breadth. Across these worlds, Cornerstone has a knack for publishing an enviably high number of bestsellers, prize winners and culture-shaping books, attracting many of the greatest authors alive today.

Cornerstone’s mission is simple: publish truly brilliant books that people will love. Powered by a wonderfully relentless team culture, Cornerstone books are enjoyed all over the world, helping people continually rediscover the joy of reading, whether unearthing new perspectives, growing as a person, or even escaping reality altogether.
