History

Spiegel & Grau was originally a publishing imprint of Penguin Random House founded by Celina Spiegel and Julie Grau in 2005.

On January 25, 2019, Penguin Random House announced that the imprint was being shut down and the two founders were leaving.[3][4] While commercially successful, the imprint "became yet another casualty of corporate restructuring," according to the New York Times.[5]

In 2020, founders Celina Spiegel and Julie Grau resurrected their publishing house under the name Spiegel & Grau. They said the independent publisher will produce 15 to 20 books a year, as well as original audiobooks and podcasts.[6]

In 2021, Spiegel & Grau's first release as an independent entity, Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship by Catherine Raven, became an instant New York Times bestseller.
