About
At Hachette Book Group (HBG), the core of our mission is a deeply ingrained passion for the power of books and a commitment to making a significant cultural impact. We are a collective of storytellers, innovators, and dedicated professionals united by the desire to publish great books, and to do so with excellence. Our culture is one that thrives on collaboration and mutual support; while we are a major US trade publisher and a division of the world's third-largest trade and educational publisher, Hachette Livre, we foster an environment that feels like a smaller, collegial house where every individual's voice is valued and heard. We believe in the power of diverse perspectives and are dedicated to creating an inclusive atmosphere for our employees and authors, ensuring our publishing programs reflect the rich tapestry of our society. This commitment to diversity and inclusion is not just a statement but a fundamental aspect of our business, as we strive to publish books that resonate with all readers. Our operational philosophy is guided by four key pillars: a deep understanding of our consumers, a drive to change the story through groundbreaking content, an 'owner mentality' that encourages proactive contributions from everyone, and a 'growth mindset' that embraces challenges and learning. We are unafraid to respectfully challenge established thinking and are constantly exploring emerging ideas and technologies to stay ahead of future trends. This forward-thinking approach is balanced with a profound respect for the art of publishing, from the meticulous work of our editors to the strategic efforts of our marketing and design teams. We celebrate our successes together, whether through monthly get-togethers or shared enthusiasm for a new release, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. For those who are passionate about books and culture, working at HBG is more than a job; it's an opportunity to be part of a dynamic, supportive, and forward-thinking community dedicated to bringing exceptional stories to the world.
