What is Penguin Previews?

Penguin Previews is our way of connecting with bookish creators who love talking about books online. It's how we share early access to upcoming Penguin titles with Instagram and TikTok creators across New Zealand.

A few times a year, we send out a Penguin Previews email where creators can request review copies of upcoming books they're most excited about.

Please note: we are not actively recruiting new influencers. Submitting your details simply lets us know you’d like to be considered for future opportunities.

Requirements

  • Must be based in NZ
  • Must be 18 years old and over
  • Must have a public profile
  • As a rough guide, we tend to work with creators with over 1k followers

How we use expressions of interest

  • We keep expressions of interest on file and may refer to them when opportunities arise.
  • We contact creators selectively, based on campaign needs, audience fit, and availability.
  • If we’re not in touch straight away, it simply means there’s no current opportunity. We may be in touch at a later date.

Please sign up here.
