TO EVERYONE AT RANDOM HOUSE, INC.

During these past seven months, the Random House Publishing Groups efforts have resulted insome of the most successful hardcover, paperback, and e-book publishing of 2010: Lee Child's#1 bestselling 61 HOURS; Justin Cronin's word-of-mouth sensation THE PASSAGE; and LisaSees SHANGHAI GIRLS trade paperback were among our 68 to-date New York Times

bestsellers, as were THE IMPERFECTIONISTS by Tom Rachman and THE THOUSANDAUTUMNS OF JACOB DE ZOET by David Mitchell, following their front-page New York TimesBook Review coverage. With our great publishing momentum, this is a welcome time toannounce new opportunities for several of our highest-achieving colleagues.

I am delighted to announce the promotion of SUSAN KAMIL, Senior Vice President, RandomHouse Editor-in-Chief, to the additional position of Publisher of the Random House and DialPress imprints, reporting to me.

Few in our industry match Susans skill of identifying and editing literary titles that can cross overinto national bestsellerdom. To name just a few recent examples: THE GUERNSEY LITERARYAND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, with over twomillion copies in print, MAJOR PETTIGREWS LAST STAND by Helen Simonson, and THE

IMPERFECTIONISTS. Susan will continue to edit a select number of books a year, including theinternationally bestselling SHOPAHOLIC series and the stand-alone novels of Sophie Kinsella.Working closely with her colleagues as Editor-in-Chief, Susan is a gracious manager and apeerless advocate for our group with authors, agents, booksellers and reviewers. She hascontributed a clear editorial vision to the shaping of the Random House list and has been anenergetic force in supporting all of the books we publish. In her new role, Susan will be amotivating decision maker on all aspects of the publishing process. The Random House and DialPress editorial staff will report to Susan.

KATE MEDINA, Executive Vice President, continues reporting to me. Her list of extraordinaryRandom House authors includes E.L. Doctorow, John Irving, Jon Meacham, Tom Brokaw andAnna Quindlen, among others. Susan will join Kate, Libby McGuire, Jane von Mehren, CindySpiegel, Julie Grau and Tom Perry as part of RHPGs senior leadership team.

I am also delighted to announce that TOM PERRY, Executive Vice President, Deputy Publisher,will join Susan at the Random House imprint. Toms clear-headed contributions to our overallpublishing strategies, his skill in coordinating the many moving parts which are crucial tosuccessful publishing, his insights on acquisition, and his deep commitment to Random Housemake him ideal to partner with Susan in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the imprint.While I am sorry hell be giving up his current RHPG group-wide role working directly with me, hisreturn to focusing on the Little Random imprint, spending full time on publishing the RandomHouse titles, will be vital to the ongoing success of the RH publishing program.
