Melissa Sanford is a publicist for the Random House Group imprint of Penguin Random House, where she works on books in all genres. She graduated from The University of Virginia in with B.A.s in both English and Religious Studies, and currently lives in New York City.

Colleen Nuccio is a marketing manager at Random House where she works mainly on commercial fiction titles including Lilac Girls, Before We Were Yours, and The New Girl. Her one true love is connecting with book club readers and part of her job at RH is running Random House Book Club, their consumer-facing book club program. In her spare time, you can find her binging HGTV and running around the park with her puppy, Shep.

Aparna Rishi is the Assistant Director, Consumer Engagement at Random House, where she manages email and web platforms. She works on connecting the reader with the right books. If you like Historical Fiction, Mystery & Suspense, Literary Fiction, or any number of genres, I try to provide our subscribers with content they will like. This comes in the form of email newsletters or a web page or site a reader may visit. Not surprisingly, she loves to read and lately, has gotten into a habit of reading and listening to two different books at the same time (not simultaneously) to beat her last year's reading goal.
