Rick Riordan Presents
publishing imprint
Rick Riordan Presents is a book imprint of Disney-Hyperion (Disney Publishing Worldwide) that was launched in 2018 and was led by Stephanie Owens Lurie until her retirement in May 2024. The line publishes books that utilize the mythology of various cultures and countries in its storytelling akin to Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The first book published under the imprint, Aru Shah and the End of Time, was released on March 23, 2018. The imprint published five to seven titles a year from 2019 to 2024.
As of July 28, 2026, there has not been an official announcement about phasing out the Rick Riordan Presents imprint. However, no editorial director was ever named to replace Stephanie Owens Lurie, and responsibilities were instead distributed throughout the Disney Hyperion editorial team. In the Publishers Weekly article about Owens Lurie's retirement, Rebecca Kruss was named as her successor, but Kruss left Disney-Hyperion in August 2025.
Only two Rick Riordan Presents books were published in 2025, and just one in 2026.
History
American author Rick Riordan was approached by Disney about creating an imprint but was initially unable to focus on the request. He later responded to Disney stating that he wanted to launch an imprint that would "find, nurture, and promote the best storytellers for middle grade readers" and "focus on diverse, mythology-based fiction by new, emerging, and under-represented authors".

Why this record matters
“Rick Riordan Presents” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Rick, Riordan and Presents provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q94000089. VIAF identifies the subject as 198155103937676201392. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2024, 2019 and 2026.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
