A constellation of independent publishers

Hachette Livre brings together over 200 imprints across the globe. They operate in a wide range of editorial genres for both trade and educational markets. The Group publishes 15,000 new titles per year on average, in a dozen languages – mainly French, English and Spanish. The Group’s publishers operate independently to constantly renew creativity.

• No. 1 PUBLISHER IN FRANCE
• No. 2 IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
• No. 3 IN SPAIN
• No. 4 IN THE UNITED STATES

Since it was founded in 1826, Hachette Livre’s mission has always been to publish, sell and distribute innovative, quality books that quench readers’ thirst for knowledge, enlightenment and entertainment. Our imprints publish in all editorial segments and formats for the trade and educational markets: fiction and non-fiction, textbooks and other educational materials, children’s and YA literature, comics, manga, how-to, travel guides and coffee table books.

Publishers painstakingly sift through the many manuscripts and agent pitches (in Anglo-Saxon markets) that they receive. Publishers identify, support and promote talented writers. They help to bring books into being by combining the writer’s expertise with that of illustrators, photographers, archivists and voice actors in the case of audio books.

Enhancing the joy of reading

Collectively Hachette Livre imprints have more than 120,000 backlist titles available in digital format on all ebook sales platforms. Most new titles are also published in digital format in France, the UK and the US. They are sold as both ebooks and downloadable audio books. In 2022 digital audio books and ebooks accounted respectively for 4.3% and 7.8% of Hachette Livre’s total sales.  

Fostering a culture of innovation

In 2015, to strengthen the role innovation plays in its growth strategy, Hachette Livre launched the Hachette Innovation Program (HIP), which became the Business Development and Innovation Department in 2021. The Department aims to identify new growth opportunities – both organic and external – and research investments that could be relevant to the Group’s development. It also provides support for the imprints’ development and diversification plans. In 2022, to nurture the Group’s culture of innovation and experimentation, the Department launched the first Innovation Challenge open to employees all over the world.  

Identifying talent online

Digital technologies have diversified reading and learning practices. It has also opened new avenues of expression to authors and illustrators. Hachette Livre was one of the first publishing groups to begin using social media and online creative platforms to spot new talents. Our publishers scout potential writers on Wattpad, TikTok and Instagram. Countless books have been born of this strategy.

Supporting innovation in education

Hachette Livre uses the possibilities created by digital technologies to enhance the tools and resources available to pupils and teachers in primary and secondary schools as well as in higher education. The Group supports evolving teaching practices via a range of innovative initiatives gathered under the umbrella of the e-Education Department as well as a partnership with Educapital and the acquisition of key players like Livrescolaire.fr.

Making content accessible to the widest possible audience

Hachette Livre is constantly expanding the content it makes available to people who are prevented from reading or who encounter obstacles to reading. A fervent believer in interoperability, Hachette Livre is involved in defining and updating open standards for technology.

Our publishers enjoy total editorial independence while benefitting from the Group’s support at all stages in the book lifecycle (manufacturing, distribution, sales and beyond). A shared vision and a concerted effort in the fields of innovation and CSR bring them all together.

Hachette Livre in France

Hachette Livre is the unrivalled book market leader in France, in almost every editorial segment. The Group comprises prestigious imprints in fiction, non-fiction, paperbacks, comics, manga, how-to, textbooks and other educational materials, guide books, dictionaries, humanities and science.
