hello friends! today we're chatting about my publishing journey how i got into penguin random house uk, and how i got my first job there as a publicity assistant, and am now an international communications assistant. getting your first publishing job can be super tough, and seeing as it was work in publishing week recently, i thought it'd be great to share the highs AND lows of my journey getting into penguin random house uk.

good luck, i hope this helps you out on your own publishing journey!

Hi there! I'm Priyanka, or PM on stage and in writing. I'm a spoken word poet, writer, bookish content creator, and poetpri is where I chat about all those things. I'm also currently working at Penguin Random House, so poetpri is my side hustle. Outside of what I do, I'm basically a big nerd I obsess way too much over anime, TV, book and videogame characters, all while chugging a gallon of green tea (the best tea) at the same time. I'm based in London and am always down for a chat about writing, or poetry!

You can find my contact details below, or find out more about what I do here: https://poetpri.com/portfolio2/'>https://poetpri.com/portfolio2/
