Hachette UK

Hachette UK is a creative powerhouse and the UK's second largest book publishing group. Our mission is to make it easy for everyone to discover new worlds of ideas, learning, entertainment, and opportunity. To do this, it’s imperative that the people who work at Hachette UK and the authors we publish are fully representative of the world we live in. Changing the Story is our commitment to this vital work of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to ensuring that we include all voices, perspectives, and ideas in our partnerships, people, and publishing. Our 10 employee networks contribute immensely to our culture, fostering communities of inclusion and belonging, including the AgeWise Network which celebrates our multi-generational business and works to ensure that the over-50s have proper representation in training, benefits, development, recruitment and promotion.

We're made up of 10 autonomous publishing divisions and over 60 imprints with a rich and diverse history and an incredible range of authors. We're also the market leader in e-books and publish a range of bestsellers in audio format, the fastest growing part of our business.

Our award-winning adult publishing divisions are Orion, which won Publisher of the Year at the 2021 British Book Awards; Little, Brown; John Murray Press; Hodder & Stoughton; Headline; Octopus, and Bookouture. They publish fiction and non-fiction in digital, audio and print format, from the world's best and most diverse authors, including Brit Bennett, Candice Carty-Williams, Martina Cole, Michael Connelly, John Grisham, Stephen King, Stieg Larsson, Nelson Mandela, Stephenie Meyer, Maggie O'Farrell, Delia Owens, Ian Rankin, J.K. Rowling, Colson Whitehead, and Malala Yousafzai. Hachette Children's Group publishes a wide and vibrant range of books for children across all age ranges, while Hachette Learning is a market leader in resources for both primary and secondary schools.
