Teach, enlighten and entertain

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.

Publishing: the beating heart of our Group

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.

Publishing and innovating for the future

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.
