News Summary: Green Book Alliance Launches Book Carbon Calculator for Publishers and Authors
The news for the past week or so seems to have been primarily about useful tools for writers. We've had decreased friction from BookFunnel and increased revenue opportunities from Substack. Now we have a tool that really helps to connect creators with their audience's values. It won't, of course, be for everyone or all audiences. But for some it may be incredibly valuable as "proof of value." The Green Book Alliance has just launched the Book Carbon Calculator.

“More Black people were hired, but were they mentored, were they trained, were they given a sense of what the industry is, if they’re new to it? Were they provided a five-year period to see how their books will do?... If not, then why isn’t that happening?” (Gift Link)

This is a great long read about the lawsuit at the heart of the attempt of Penguin/Random House's owner to buy Simon and Shuster. But it's really about publishing and the book industry more broadly. It's even got a Stephen King cameo.

Hi, I'm a Melbourne-based author, editor, and lecturer in writing and publishing (at RMIT University). This year I've also been working on sustainability issues in the book industry. My latest novel is Moon Sugar, published by Transit Lounge. It's a sexy cross-genre ride and a recent review in The Guardian called it 'life-affirming' :) I like to connect with other bookish folks, queer folks, those working in sustainability & more.
