Hachette Authors Send Greetings and Thanks

"I came to Hachette Book Group when our industry was undergoing changes at the speed of light. These new challenges could have been enervating, but HBG was energized by them, regarding them as opportunities to grow their market as well as their authors. I'm pleased to be among them. Happy 10th Birthday, HBG! --Sandra Brown

Sherman Alexie

"Little, Brown is filled with smart and funny people. I spend so much time laughing that I forget it's actually my job!" --Sherman Alexie

"HBG took a chance on me when no one else would. It's been a privilege to work with a team that brings such passion to their creation and packaging. HBG understands how to bring together art and business in a way that is sensitive, timely, and intelligent." --Brent Weeks

"In 2010, The Lifeboat and I were lucky enough to land at Hachette Book Group. I found myself part of a wonderful family of smart and talented people who not only care deeply about books, but who also help writers reach their full potential. Happy anniversary, HBG, from one of your many devoted fans." --Charlotte Rogan

"What separates Hachette from other publishers can't be distilled into a few lines, but I at least have the keyword: enthusiasm. The excitement for publishing starts in the U.S. with the incomparable Michael Pietsch, and permeates every facet of the company. From France to London to an extraordinary team at the distribution center in Lebanon, Ind., I've experienced the beautiful shared enthusiasm across HBG, and it is that genuine passion for books that makes it a truly special environment for a writer." --Michael Koryta

"Hachette evokes ardent, adoring salutes; really there should be a parade. Happy anniversary to the mighty, ingenious, nimble dream team!" --Stacy Schiff

"I've always been well published, but it all rose to a new level when I came to Hachette six or seven years ago--the enthusiasm & professionalism & skill in editing & publishing my novels has been extraordinary and has given me more inspiration, more time--more books--feels like more life." --Kim Stanley Robinson

David Baldacci

"Having worked with HBG long before they were HBG I can say unequivocally that it's the people that count and HBG has the best in the business. I could not imagine working with a finer, more dedicated group whose sole mission is to help me and all the other HBG writers deliver the best possible stories in the best possible way to readers everywhere. Here's to your first 10 years and best wishes for many, many more." --David Baldacci

"Your publisher can feel a little bit like your family. For better and, yes, for worse. In my case, it's very much the former. I can't count the number of times I've felt how fortunate I am to be at Little, Brown--a family every bit as supportive and loving--yes, loving--as I ever could have hoped for. And it isn't just the focused list, the passionate know-how, the meaningful love of books. It's also the commitment. I have only ever felt how seriously the folks at Little, Brown take their relationship with their authors. Family, indeed. Of the very happiest kind." --Ayad Akhtar

"I love Hachette, they feel like friends." --Kate Atkinson

Elin Hilderbrand

"In September of 2006, my life changed in a manner I can only compare to Cinderella finding out that the glass slipper fit. I became a Hachette author. I have been impressed and inspired by the brilliant minds of the people who work there--but more importantly, I have felt celebrated, lifted up and loved by the hearts of the people who work there." --Elin Hilderbrand

"I consider myself truly fortunate to have worked with a fantastic group of editors, publicists, marketers and artists at Hachette. They are consummate professionals dedicated to the proposition that books have a fundamentally important role in the world. More importantly, they are genuinely great people and I'm proud to know them. Happy 10th anniversary." --Kevin Powers

Michael Connelly

"It's been a great pleasure for me to be with the Hachette Book Group since its inception. No writer could ask for better support than I receive through the many channels of HBG. All an author could ever want is to be part of a publishing enterprise that is innovative and relentless and without borders. I know that I have that with HBG and that each time I complete a novel I am handing it off to the best in the business." --Michael Connelly

"I've been at HBG so long, when they started, I used to have hair. Look it up. It's true. So thank you, HBG, for giving me a line of author photos where I can slowly track the decline of my hairline. Seriously, love you all very much. And honored to be here to blow out the candles with you." --Brad Meltzer

"Writing my first book was the scariest, hardest thing I've ever done, but being clasped to the warm bosom of Hachette Book Group made it funny and fun pretty much every step of the way (even the step where I was hyperventilating in a haunted cabin trying to crank out the last 20,000 words). I'm so lucky to have fallen in with a group of colleagues who get me, treat me like a friend, and encourage me to take chances." --Lindy West

"I was incredibly lucky that my book Disrupted landed at Hachette Book Group. Everyone I worked with was terrific. They really cared about the book and understood what I was trying to accomplish." --Dan Lyons
