Penguin Random House Authors and Creators Skew Heavily White

White contributors accounted for 76% of books released in the 2019-2021 period, significantly higher than the 60% white people comprise in the U.S. general population. The 76% share, however, as PRH noted, correlates closely to the 74% mark that white people represent in the PRH workforce. Advocates pushing for publishers to diversify their workforce have long argued that publisher's list will only become more diverse after they diversify their workforce.
