Peachtree Publishing Company will be sold and distributed worldwide by Penguin Random House Publisher Services, effective May 1, 2022. Peachtree will thus join its sister companies Holiday House and Pixel+Ink in being sold and distributed by PRHPS.
At the same time, Peachtree, which focuses on children's and YA books, will expand to three publishing seasons, starting with a new Summer 2022 list. The Penguin Random House sales team will sell the Summer 2022 list.
Peachtree publisher Margaret Quinlin commented: "We have been preparing for a period of intense growth. Part of that groundwork means creating efficiencies; boosting our reach in the global, special, and gift markets; and increasing our access to updated technology and data for orders and shipping. In other words, creating a framework that fully supports our enhanced editorial growth. PRHPS is an ideal partner to help us meet all these goals."
