Joining the Hachette UK Walk of Hope from Newcastle in support of 3DadsWalking and PAPYRUS this afternoon! It might be a slightly grey day here but it's been lovely to get outside and talk - we're with you and your incredible campaigning all the way.

Our first proof delivery in our new office 📚 Thanks so much to Sceptre Books for sending copies of #YouAreHere David Nicholls, we can’t wait to read and enjoy some mint cake!

Slightly late to the party but, yes, Hachette Newcastle has a shiny new home Wizu Workspace! We're still in need of more books (and shelves for them), but we're very excited to be here and for the team to continue to grow

Applications are now open for the Children's Books North Mentor Scheme! Twelve aspiring publishers will get the chance to be mentored by an industry professional. Open to anyone interested in working in publishing based in the North of England/Scotland. No prior experience needed

Yes, I’m actually paid to send authors emails like this (also let this be your reminder to standardise the font size before pressing send 😂)

Ready for the Gordon Burn Prize 📚 Northern Stage New Writing North

You could get angry about Canary Wharf being given £242M of “levelling up” funding in the Budget.

You could go and get hold of #HeadNorth and join the fightback for a fairer country!

OUT TODAY!

#WorldBookDay2024

Exciting delivery in the office today to celebrate One Day on Netflix! Can’t wait to watch this adaptation of one of my all-time favourites Hodder & Stoughton ✨

Not a great photo to illustrate it but having a 37 minute gap between trains on a city metro network is wild - there isn’t even anything particularly wrong, it’s just a normal Monday in the north and none of our trains work #levellingup

Went here for the first time today - so nice to have an indie bookshop in Newcastle and to see it so busy!

These traineeships provide incredible opportunities to gain experience across publishing, *and* can be based in London or from Hachette's offices in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield and Bristol. Please spread the word!

Our traineeship is back!

The programme is designed to make publishing more accessible to under-represented groups and this year we’re also looking for experienced candidates looking to take a new step in their career 👇

Annie Nightingale’s life and achievements were so extraordinary you couldn’t possibly sum them up on here. This interview is well worth your time. It was such a treat if you happened to be in the building at the same time as her. She was always so interested in what everyone else…

Really sad news - Annie was such a trailblazer for women in music, radio and media and I felt very lucky to work with her on Hey Hi Hello 🤍
