Yen Press Inks Global Partnership with Hachette

Yen Press has inked a global partnership with Hachette UK, Hachette India, and Hachette Australia to handle sales and distribution to accounts and retailers outside of North America. Services for Yen Press will go live through Hachette UK starting on December 16, 2024, through Hachette India on February 3, 2025, and Hachette Australia on April 1, 2025.

Yen Press is the latest publisher to join Hachette UK as part of their third-party expansion plans. Other noteworthy publishers who formed a partnership with Hachette UK include Profile Books, who joined in 2021; Elsevier, who joined in 2022; Flame Tree Publishing and British Library Publishing, who joined in 2023; Pinnacle Books and Lonely Planet, who joined earlier in 2024; and Hay House and Bloomsbury Publishing, who will join in early 2025. 

"We’re all equally pleased and excited to be welcoming Yen Press to the Hachette family for sales and distribution services in the UK, India, Australia, and New Zealand," said Russell Evans, business development director for Hachette UK. "We already have the pleasure of working with Yen Press at Hachette Book Group US, so the inclusion of these additional territories makes this a truly global partnership."
