Happy Sydney Mardi Gras!
We're celebrating one of the largest LGBTQIA+ festivals in the world, Sydney Mardi Gras, from 16 Feb – 3 Mar 2024. Celebrate this year with our recent Pride book picks.
Hear from David Shelley, Hachette Book Group CEO
‘As a gay man, it’s a life goal of mine to attend Sydney Mardi Gras. Events like this are, I feel, so key in terms of the LGBTQIA+ community. Although it can sometimes feel like we’ve reached a point of equality and acceptance – and things have improved a lot in the 28 years since I first came out – there’s still a really, really long way to go until we get where we need to be.
I think it’s also why books are so vital. It’s been heartening beyond measure to see the impact Heartstopper has had on queer people of all generations, and I’m very proud that at Hachette our lists have a wealth of other brilliant books by and for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages and all stages of life.
Books truly can make a difference to lives and outcomes and – to reference our mission at Hachette - can help queer people discover exciting new worlds of opportunity and possibility. I hope Mardi Gras is amazing, and that you enjoy some of the incredible books we publish.’
