Hachette Book Group is a privately owned company headquartered in the US, founded in 2006, with approximately 1,360 employees. The company operates as a U.S. trade publisher specializing in book and periodical publishing, and functions as a division of the trade and educational book publisher Hachette Livre.
On August 21, 2026, a major cyberattack at publisher Hachette severely disrupted authors and booksellers across Australia, leading to instances where authors like Maxine Beneba Clarke attended events without their books available. This follows the August 18 announcement that Olivier Nora, previously ousted on April 14 by parent company Hachette from his long-time role at subsidiary Éditions Grasset, launched a new publishing house in partnership with Editis, France’s second-largest publisher. Nora's initial departure had sent shockwaves through the French publishing world. Earlier, on August 17, Hachette Book Group hosted a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention and Career Fair in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring Legacy Lit authors Roland Martin, Tiffany Cross, and Errin Haines, moderated by Krishan Trotman, Vice President and Publisher of Legacy Lit.
