Hachette Australia
We seek out the best stories. We nurture them. Then we share them.
Hachette Australia is a team of expert publishers and passionate readers dedicated to discovering and supporting talented writers and working with them to craft exceptional stories.
We select the very best, whatever the genre – from high-quality commercial fiction to literary award-winners, children’s picture books and adventure stories to memoirs and history, lifestyle and sport. And then we pour 100 years of publishing excellence into every page, bringing them to readers in the formats that they love.
Who is Hachette Australia?

We have our own production, sales, marketing and publicity teams who work closely with authors and editors locally and across the world to curate the very best reading experience for Australian readers.

How do we discover and nurture new talent?
We relish the challenge of reading through the wealth of creative writing that we see, to select the very best stories that we know other readers will love as much as we do. As well as the more traditional ways of discovering authors (to find out more about how to get published, click here), we also have unique partnerships with the Queensland Writers Centre, Emerging Writers’ Festival and Express Media that help us discover and work with amazing new talents every year.
