Schwarzenegger to publish Better Every Day with Penguin Press in January 2027
Arnold Schwarzenegger will publish BETTER EVERY DAY: AN ACTION PLAN FOR A FULL LIFE with Penguin Press, an imprint, meaning a distinct publishing line inside Penguin Random House, on 12 January 2027.
The forthcoming title was noted by Publishers Marketplace Lunch on 22 September 2026. The date is set.
Scott Moyers will edit the book, meaning he will guide the manuscript from draft to finished text for the imprint. Editors work with authors on structure, clarity and length before production begins. Schwarzenegger was represented in the deal by Byrd Leavell at UTA, the talent agency, meaning Leavell acted for the author in discussions with the publisher. An agent, in book publishing, negotiates terms and manages the sale on behalf of the writer. Both credits appear in the same trade listing, which is the most recent published source for the deal.
The new book is a follow-up to Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, Schwarzenegger's earlier volume of life guidance. That earlier book reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, the United States weekly chart based on sales. List position reflects reported sales in a given week rather than total copies sold over time. A follow-up, in publishing terms, keeps the author and broad theme while offering new material in a separate volume.
Penguin Random House, the group that owns Penguin Press, hosts an official page for Better Every Day. The page says Schwarzenegger shares what he has learned about the path of continual improvement, according to Penguin Random House. It presents that steady improvement as starting with simply beginning.
The book is already available for pre-order, meaning readers can reserve a copy ahead of publication, as reported by People on 21 September 2026. A pre-order is paid for now or on release, depending on the retailer. Pre-orders let bookshops and online retailers gauge early interest and plan stock. Readers outside the United States will need to check local sellers for formats, prices and delivery dates.
For readers, this means a winter publication date to note and time to reserve. The January date places release early in the new year's publishing schedule. No extracts, print run or retail price were given in the reports published so far. More detail will normally follow in the publisher's catalogue, which sets out forthcoming titles, dates and formats for booksellers, closer to publication.
